Wrapped around the base of a Heliconia sp. leaf, waiting for dinner.
Were relaxing on the water line until they got spooked by all the people
observation for fish prey
The audio is poor and faint, but the owl singing is clear enough in the audio. There is also a few lower pitched calls from nearby trumpeter swans
Among the 13 adult Double-crested Cormorants (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/39931192) was a banded individual with a yellow band around its right leg. Unfortunately this is just not enough info for a report to USGS, but I’m adding the observation to the Banded Birds project.
crook-neck, probably had a fish in its gullet. Banded individual.
