I had the opportunity to visit Lake Byllesby this afternoon to look
for the reported Anhingas. I did not find them, but I was able to
observe and photograph three juvenile Double-crested Cormorants
roosting together in the same described location. These birds all
exhibited typical hatch year plumages: washed-out tan throat and
breast, yellow bill, brownish upper back and hind neck. One of the
three birds was particularly pale ventrally and the bill was quite
light. It may be that these cormorants were mistakenly identified as
Anhingas -- something that could be easily excused given the lighting
conditions and perhaps unfamiliar plumage of the birds.
