I received the following interesting report from Nancy Kohn at Battelle
Lab in Sequim -- thought you'd be interested. Although I'm not sure
about the cormorant species, I suspect it is a Pelagic, which are most
abundant in Sequim Bay this time of year.

Also, to add to the Lazuli Bunting reports in western Washington this
spring -- one was seen in Port Angeles on 5/29, 6/1, and 6/2, in a
neighborhood on the east side of town.
