Cheers, Susann Myers ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Stevens To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 8:04 AM Subject: [NatureNS] 20080522 - Cormorants in "v", Antigonish Hi all, This morning while driving to work I saw 14 Cormorant sp. flying in a "v", and heading roughly west or a little south of west. I couldn't determine the species, but I wondered if they were Great Cormorants, perhaps searching for the now defunct colony at Crystal Cliffs. I don't normally associate the "v" formation with cormorants unless they are migrating. -- Bruce Stevens Maryvale, NS --Boundary_(ID_3fGX9d1WWVmlR5ZR4jdv/g) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16640" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, Bruce.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From my years in Louisbourg, I'm used to watching both Great and Double-crested Cormorants, which nest on Green Island in the mouth of the harbour there. Double-crested Cormorants regularly fly out from their breeding islands in V-formation in the morning, heading out to fish together at a particular lake or bit of coastline. The ones you saw are unlikely to have been Great Cormorants still on migration, as Greats migrate earlier than Double-cresteds, typically in March/early April.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Susann Myers</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=m.bruce.stevens@gmail.com href="mailto:m.bruce.stevens@gmail.com">Bruce Stevens</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=naturens@chebucto.ns.ca href="mailto:naturens@chebucto.ns.ca">naturens@chebucto.ns.ca</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, May 22, 2008 8:04 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [NatureNS] 20080522 - Cormorants in "v", Antigonish</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR>This morning while driving to work I saw 14 Cormorant sp. flying in a "v", and heading roughly west or a little south of west.
