Cormorant mostly ignores status as interloper...

This double-crested Cormorant is sharing a small neighbourhood pond, with Canada Geese, in our small village of King City, Ontario.   Like most cormorants, it is content to be the only cormorant on the pond because it means exclusive fishing for itself.  The pond is, however, currently being shared with Canada Geese that all seems to be raising goslings right now.   The cormorant tries to be circumspect, but the parent geese are very wary when the cormorant gets too close to the young geese.
