The Neotropic Cormorant reported yesterday evening by Bruce Nott and Ken McDermott just flew in and started fishing along the Newburgh Waterfront offshore from the rowing club. This location can be accessed along the Waterfront Trail. While I was typing this email, the bird was flushed by a group of jet skis and headed downriver. I watched it hook in towards the shipyard a bit south of this location on the same side of the river. Apparently yesterday it was loafing on low pilings that are presently underwater, so hopefully it will return to this site.
