My husband made that faux pas once and I have never let him forget it :)

He will be happy to know someone else has sighted the lesser known double
breasted species !

Thanks for the laugh

  I was going to make a comment about Tuma's double breasted cormorants but
decided I probably shouldn't.

  Hi Everyone:  Nick and I went out for a drive, found the following birds:


  Across from the Purcell's cove social club-2 Double Breasted Cormorants
  A whole bunch of Common Eiders (around 150 at one spot  down the road from
the social club and another 100 at Duncan Cove).
  The usual suspects-black ducks, Crows, Herring gulls, ring billed gulls,
song sparrow at Duncan Cove).


  Then we went back to Halifax/Dartmouth at Sullivan's pond where we had a
very pleasant surprise-a flock of Cedar Waxwings, waiting for us in a tree
eating some berries.  They even posed for us and we were able to get some
fabulous pictures which I posted at http://gallery.me.com/tumayoung  under
the album waxwings.  If you check out the American Crow under the album
Jays, Crows.   I noted that it was eating another bird-well it was pecking
at a foot of a bird.  Hope someone can help identify it-very hard to do just
by looking at the feet-pinkish, with three "fingers" long black nails.


  At Sullivan's pond, there were Canada Geese, American and Eurasian
wigeons, Mallards, Black Ducks, Rock Doves, and the Domestic Geese are back
from Hope for Wildlife.


  Tuma and Nick
