I've seen 'em around Shelley Lake in Raleigh, NC.
We're about 120 miles inland - figuring from the closest beach. I don't know how big Shelley Lake is in square footage or whatever, but the green-way path that runs around the lake is exactly 2 miles long. http://preview.tinyurl.com/yuv9le In addition to the occasional cormorant, I've seen lots of Canadian geese, various kinds of wild ducks, great egrets, great blue herons and even a swan there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
