Puget Sound

It was around 5:00pm. Sunny. Not a lot of wind. High 60s F.
I walked down past the University of Washington Husky Stadium and sat and watched the water. I looked over to see a cormorant floating down the boat canal and then fly off across the canal to a batch of tall, leafless, cormorant filled trees. Some were swimming around, some were flying, and then there had to be at least 50 out and about. I have never seen so many around one area, let alone see waterfowl try to land in a tree.
