Yesterday at the Vashon ferry dock there was a Brandt's Cormorant with a red
color marker/band around the left leg and a grey or metallic color
marker/band around the right. It looked like the red band may have had a
capital A on it in white. I reported this on the USGS site, is there
anywhere else to send this information to?



Every day there are a number of Brandt's Cormorants there in breeding
plumage with the brilliant blue throat pouch, white head plumes and white
back plumes. There are some nice bright orange Horned Grebes and some
Common Loons as well.
