Hello SBBers:

This afternoon, the BRANDT's CORMORANT was still
there, right by the shore of the parking lot.  Several
other birders were there off and on (Kathy Parker,
Mike Mammoser, Mike Feightner (sp), Peggy Don and her
husband and more..).  

We all tried to encourage families and children to
leave the bird alone. It let people walk right up to
it, and kids chased it into the water at least once. 
Is it exhausted or sick? or..?

There is also a PACIFIC LOON another birder discovered
in the pond beyond the first big pond; it then flew to
the 3rd pond.
