If you love birdwatching and tend to admire seabirds and the area they occupy, you will love this trio of Cormorants. nesting.
Along Delaware Bay is a small island that is home to planks of dead trees. Cormorants, herons, and many other seabirds nest here and seem to get along while raising their young. Some birds build their nests high, others low, and all thrive.
Thank you to Viewing Nature with Eileen, the host of Saturday Critters for this challenge, and to the host of Skywatch. Friday.
That really is a treat to see them nesting! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is quite a sight, one that I won't soon forget. I'm so glad I had my camera with the zoom lens.
DeleteGreat captures of the cormorants. They have a nice spot to nest.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend.
Thanks so much for hosting. I'll visit your post today and comment, I have a little more time than when I first linked up.
DeleteWonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteThese are great bird. Wonderful to see :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks, for some reason we once called them looby birds. Can't remember why, it was just our pet name for them.
DeleteBeautiful photos! Cormorants are such interesting birds, and it's amazing that they share their nesting space with so many other species.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the nesting...they are all so close. I usually see more than one of these birds when I spot them so perhaps, they are very agreeable to one another in behavior.
DeleteBeautiful image. We even have cormorants here in Oklahoma but I've never seen so many nests together as yours.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they were in Oklahoma too. This is an amazing sight in person, almost a feeling a something from another world.
DeleteOh, I love bird watching! This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThis nesting site is really a unique sight. I've seen it over the years. Sometimes its more crowded than past seasons, and then once again, it will be covered with birds.
DeleteI like watching cormorants. The ones I am familiar with are on the west coast, in sea caves.
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to think the cormorants are very well-traveled and established birds. They are so much fun to watch, I agree.
