Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus)

If you look carefully at yesterday's top photo (below) you will see that the pelicans are sharing their little island amicably with some Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus). I should say that the cormorants are sharing their island with the pelicans since this island almost always boasts a number of cormorants resting and drying their wings after their diving exploits and the pelicans are relatively short-term visitors. Generally the pelicans keep to the eastern end of the island and the cormorants tend to hang out on the western end - "Birds of a feather...etc."
