Hi Tweets,

Just remembered, week and a half ago here in New Westminster BC, there was
a
three-day period when Double-crested Cormorants were moving up the Fraser
River in flocks ranging from 3 birds to largest observed flock of 22, with
none moving back downriver. I saw about 50-60 birds in this period, which
suggests quite a few more, since I can't loaf at work as much as I'd like
to, woolgathering out the window. Average otherwise since last August has
been about 1 bird every three or four days, as often heading downstream as
up.

I'd guess these birds were on their way to inland nesting colonies; be nice
to see how this movement coincides, or doesn't, with arrival at any
Interior nesting sites.
