A Little Pied Cormorant in flight

Little Pied Cormorant

I have not seen any Cormorants at the Oak Street Wetland for some time. We normally have the Little Pied Cormorant, Little Black Cormorant and, on occasions, Great Cormorant at the wetland.

On 21 October 2024, this Little Pied Cormorant was spotted. It circled the wetland a couple of times which gave me an opportunity to capture it in flight. I like how it was back-lite by the sun which gave it highlights on the outline of its body and wings.
