Shelly spotted this unusual bird and took these pic’s today.
This bird can leap directly into flight from water
without running and flapping across the surface.

The Pelagic Cormorant is usually only found on the West Coast.
I wonder what he is doing here, he has been here for a couple of days
as far as we know, have you saw this type of bird here before?
