This is the western head on Seal Island, on the sky line you can see Audubon Cormorant Camera delivered by helicopter in mid April a month after the Cormorants were on territory,  this is the last viable Great cormorant colony in the US.  Fundraising is not Conservation. I feel as if I may have erred in encouraging the National Audubon Society to stop ignoring this species.
