So sorry for the delay in posting. We have been having a great little respite down in Big Bend and have few places to catch wi-fi. So here is the first of several bird posts that will be coming.

This is  Neotropical Cormorant ( Phalacrocorax brasilianus) that was putting me on a show at the beaver pond near Rio Grande village campground. He is a beautiful emerald eyed & graceful yet comical member of the Pelican family . A group of them are a “gulp” which I am sure they get from their very throaty way of swallowing fish whole.
