Thanks Birdie, Ron, Morris, Chris and Bee.
The first born doesn\'t always push its younger sibling out of the nest; I suspect it has to do with the struggle for food. The bigger baby always eats first- but if its stuffed, the smaller one usually feeds. I saw many single youngsters, and a fair amount of twins also.
The flightless cormorants. Yes, I saw them. Scraggly looking and short wings. It\'s easy to think they are on their way to loosing wings altogether. It\'ll take awhile though. Evolution is slow.
As a life-long slide shooter, I do sometimes shoot too tight .
