We thought these were American Black Ducks, but this was incorrect. They are cormorants! How funny, I can identify cormorants in the air or drying their wings, but can't when they're just swimming in the water. (Maybe now I can?)
This shot doesn's show his shape as well, when he flew over the wings were definitely eagle. His head and tail are white, which is usually a bald eagle. The park hadn't found any Bald Eagles on the recent survey, so we must have just gotten lucky.
I thought the contract was interesting, a National Wildlife Refuge on the other side of the bay from Atlantic City.
We have seen these several times along the Atlantic Coast. I finally learned what they are from the signs along the road.
I identified these incorrectly at first as Tundra Swans. A much more knowledgeable birder provided the correct identification!
I am not a birder, but went through the list of birds from a recent park survey and looked up pictures until I could find this one!
Looks like this guy has lunch taken care of.
This is a very large bird who appears to fly slowly. However, I could only get one shot of him flying, so he isn't as slow as he looks.
This fellow was right outside our RV Saturday morning. Of course, he refused to sit still for me to take a good picture. Maybe it's good enough to prove we saw him?
Glad to Know All People in the World
This fellow was just sitting out in the bay byOld Mystic Seaport.
These were all over the beach at Charlestown, RI.
This was at the salt marshes near First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod, named because it was where the Pilgrims first encountered the Native Americans in 1620.

If anyone can help identify this, I'd appreciate it.

Not afraid of us in the slightest !
Beautiful birds... if not the most elegant when they take off.... this one ended up on the rocks instead of in the air :)
These Guys were massive and hovered overhead everywhere in the Islands
A group of these were swimming near the coast rocks.
