Okay, thanks. Sometimes non-bird watchers see cormorants drying wings and
think they are injured. They kind of stand there with their wings half
opened and drooping. I just wondered if it really was injured, what kind or
extent of injury, etc. As I said, several bird watchers reported it flying
yesterday in fine shape on Vermont eBird. Thanks
Kent
