This is my first year catching sight of these semi-aquatic birds at the Skokie Lagoons, which is
a bit odd seeing as I've lived here my entire life and bike along the trail frequently. They
don't really seem to fit in with the typical Northern Illinois ornithic scene of blue herons,
mallards, and kestrels.
Occasionally I'll see one wandering through the lagoon alone or with a few ducks,
but I've noticed that a small group of cormorants usually hang out in a tree near where the
trail begins, so I brought my telephoto lens over there to get a few close-ups.
