Subject: [SBB] Brandt's Cormorant at Los Gatos Creek Park X-BeenThere: [[email protected]] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1b4+ Precedence: list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: South Bay Birding List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: south-bay-birds-bounces+south-bay-birds-archive=[[email protected]] Errors-To: south-bay-birds-bounces+south-bay-birds-archive=[[email protected]] This morning at about 10:00 am Pat Kenny and I stopped at Los Gatos Creek Park (aka Oka Ponds) and almost immediately saw a juvenile BRANDT'S CORMORANT in the big pond right next to the parking lot. It swam from the NW corner across in front of us and then spent most of the time in NE corner, usually hauled out on the east bank. The bird was overall dark brown with tan on the front lower neck and upper breast, lighter edging on some of the scapulars (?), a small cream colored chin patch, dark bill, gray-green eyes. In good light, the back showed a green sheen. There were no nearby size comparisons, but the bird seemed as big or slightly bigger than the Double-breasted Cormorants other places on the pond. The bird was still present when we left at 10:50. I'd like to thank Bob Reiling for leaving a car in pieces at home and coming out to make sure we weren't hallucinating.
