Livorno Daily Photo: The Cormorant

Wednesday, June 19, 2013

I do not know much about birds, but it is quite rare to see here something different from gulls and pigeons.

I have seen cormorants on the rocks at Antignano, but this is my first one inside the Porto Mediceo.

Revrunner said...: I noticed that wing-coloring, too and the white spot on the neck--both strike me as quite unlike the variety that are so common here in the Middle Atlantic States.; June 19, 2013 at 1:58 AM
