This morning while I was walking around Huntington Lake on the west side of Huntington Central Park I encountered an immature NEOTROPIC CORMORANT. It was roosting with 20 or so Double-crested Cormorants on the dead branches over the water south of the caf. At 9am a big gust of wind knocked it off balance from its perch. It then flew around the lake twice before I lost view of it behind trees. I searched the entire lake could not refind it. I suspect if flew off headed north. Since the lake has a lot of cormorant activity it could return so may be worthwhile to check it or other suitable local spots like Shipley, Wintersburg Channel, etc. Roger Schoedl Huntington Beach |
