Thanks, Kent, and also Don for your emails. My information that this bird has an injured wing comes through a neighbor whom Barbara Rhoad spoke to. I am trying to get more information and will post again when I find out anything more.

How is it known to have injured wing? What are the signs? It was reported flying back and forth to ponds just yesterday with no mention of any sign of injury. This would be a very hard species to capture on open water in daylight. Much like injured loons are that our office rescues at times, I suspect that it would require night lighting to capture on open water.

Thanks

It has come to my attention that the immature Greater Cormorant which has been at Kennedy Pond for weeks, often perching on the swimming dock, has an injured wing. VINS is willing to take it in for rehab if someone can meet them at the pond with at least one canoe (possibly with another canoe and kayak for herding purposes) on a day they have sufficient staff. Cormorants can be dangerous so VINS does not recommend that inexperienced rescuers attempt to accomplish this.

If at least one willing person with a canoe, possibly two, are interested in helping, coordinating with VINS would be the best way to try to help this bird.

Thanks!
