Re: Kirstin's Appeal and Cormorants

It's working Kristin and all,

I got over to Sugarhouse park today to see the Cormorants, thanks to Tim 
Avery's post,  and got some neat pictures.  I know this isn't really a 
big deal to see Cormorants (or is it?) but I saw one eat a great big 
fish.  I don't think there have been many fish there in the past but I 
guess with the runoff that comes to that pond some fish have arrived. 
One cormorant took off, circled the pond about five times and then 
landed.  A few minutes later another took off and headed southwest.  I 
counted fourteen of them at 2:30.  Some were sunning, some were fishing, 
and some were doing that courtship dance.  Pretty good for a five minute 
drive in the middle of Sugarhouse.  And without Kirstin and Tim I would 
have missed all of the excitement!
