A friend and I were out photographing in Albert Lea yesterday and came =
across at least 5 trees just saturated with Double Crested Commorants. I =
didn't count them but I have never seen some many sitting in trees like =
that and flying around. Additionally, we were able to access three of =
the trees and literally stand under them and photograph. We were both =
getting full framed shots and they seem to be oblivious to us. I hope to =
get the images processed soon and posted on my website for anyone that =
wants to see them.
For those that want to go, they are located in Myre-Big Island State =
Park. Specifically, they were sitting in trees right off Albert Lea Lake =
by the Picnic area. Take 38 into the park and keep on it. As you follow =
it around towards the Big Island Campground you will cross a narrow =
strip of land and when you are about 1/2 of the way across look to your =
left along the Big Island Shoreline and across at the trees on Little =
Island. To get to the ones by the Picnic area head to it and park and =
head to the road to Litle Island. As soon as you enter it go about 100 =
feet and there will be a path to the water. It is short. I'd say maybe =
25 feet. Then look up. That is where we found them.
Hope the above helps for those interested in locating them. Let me know =
if more info is needed.
