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.
