Doing some even more crude calculations I figure Bob had 4.54 Double-crested Cormorants.
Bob & I crossed paths at Myers at noon, and thanks to his brief note of what he'd found, I made the effort and also saw the RED-THROATED LOON far out in the lake, along with, coincidentally, 110 COMMON LOONS. However they were not actively diving, so maybe it was really only 24.2 of them. I missed the scoters and saw no cormorants either, so I'm not sure how many of them there were.

Thanks Steve! What would I do without you??
Your reply reminded me that, in addition to all of the loons,
scoters, grebes, and gulls at Aurora, I also had one DOUBLE-CRESTED
CORMORANT.
