Cormorants won't share perches with others...

Double-crested Cormorants chase others away
Double-crested Cormorants that have soaked their feathers while swimming underwater, hunting for food, like to take their time while drying their feathers after fishing.   This means occupying a perch during the feather-drying process.   As seen in these photos at a local pond, it means shoo-ing away any other cormorants looking for a perch.   Otherwise, cormorants are normally quite communal.
