Dear Tweets,

I was asked to post this from someone not on the list. If anyone would
care to comment/answer his questions, I will pass these along to the
gentleman. I've never seen a white cormorant and thought it would be quite
a site seeing it flying under the water; hopefully his photos will show
something.
