Phalacrocorax pelagicus resplendens
March 13
West end of Elk Valley, Marin County, California.
About 7:30 a.m. as I stood on the beach at the ocean
end of the valley I saw one Baird's cormorant fly by,
200 +/- ft offshore, going up the coast. White patch by
flank was conspicuous as the flew by, 4+ft above the
water.
