Cormorants

The name comes from Latin. Corvus meaning crow and marinus meaning pertaining to the sea – sea crow. To dry off they strike an erect pose with wings outstretched facing the wind. Since some of the ones below are not facing the way others are facing I would say they can not figure out which way the wind is blowing. They are sitting on the fishing dock across from the 11th fairway of the Pelican Point Course. I have been told that two alligators still live here but we have not seen them yet.
