Pelagic Waters off South Padre Island, Gulf of Mexico, Cameron County Texas
Unsure of exact species, was swimming and diving in the pond
This cormorant was near an obviously adult double-crested cormorant. But this one — juvenile maybe? — lacks both the bright yellow bill of double-crested cormorants and the white gular border of neotropics. So I’m not sure what it may have been!
