Pelagic Cormorant

As far as I knew we only got Double-crested Cormorants in False Creek! This one is similar—mostly black, with two white rump spots, but it has a little spot of red on the cheek instead of a patch of orange.

I wonder how many other Pelagic Cormorants I’ve missed? I’ll have to keep my eyes open!
