Double-crested Cormorant

(Phalacrocorax aurifus)

This fine-looking Double-crested Cormorant has the pond at Rumble Park Road on the east side of Bathurst Street in Richmond Hill all to itself in early September.   This cormorant is common and widespread on inland lakes, ponds and rivers in the interior of Southern Ontario.   Breeding populations here have greatly increased in the past four decades.
