Hello again, i just posted the cormorants for my activity 2+3… here are two more species I’ve seen recently (to make up three different species) this time in my backyard in Maryland. I must say I am partial to the raptors - so impressive, beautiful and powerful. And the colors of the red bellied woodpecker, such industrious hard workers. N

Hello , I saw today in the canals of Phoenix AZ a group of cormorants. From the waterfowl group!. I have seen these birds throughout North America, from way North up in lakes in Northern Quebec to down here in Arizona. I dont know the data but have read that its population in the continent, particularly around the Great Lakes, is getting out of control and crowding out habitat for other native birds and wildlife. They are reported to cause significant damage to trees and foliage around lakes and they eat up to 1 lb of fish per day, in places threatening habitat for loons and other types of birds. Is this a climate change survivor/beneficiary? Would love to know what the Lab thinks of this!! So far enjoying the course.
