While doing some casual birding this afternoon at Golden Ponds in
Longmont, CO, I noticed a lone Double-crested Cormorant hanging out
amongst the geese that appeared to have an injured left wing and most
likely cannot fly. I am asking for advice what to do. Isn't there a
rehabilitation center that takes in injured cormorants? Also of
interest was a female Wood Duck.

Tony,

Greenwood Wildlife Rehab Center (in Longmont) has tended to DC Cormorants.  But I don't think they have the resources to retrieve the injured animals from the field, instead relying on people to bring them in.  Their phone is 303-545-5849.
