I'm having trouble ID'ing some of the cormorants found around English Bay & 2nd Beach.
Leaning towards Brandt's on this one because of the faint tan patches, but in all the Brandt's photos I see it is much more prominent:
[EDIT] now thinking it's Juvenile Pelagic... tail looks quite long.
Is it possible for a Pelagic to have those faint little chin spots?
This second one is a poor shot, but I am guessing Pelagic due to the head/bill shape. Maybe the photo isn't good enough for a 100% ID.
Thoughts?
