handmade ghostCormorants! on the river boom #BirdCallOut
Takako 🐀@handmade_ghost I love cormorants! We saw like 80 of them on the Charles River this evening. Here are 35~36 of them (I counted).
#BirdCallOut 🐦💦
@otterX So many, and so beautiful and remarkable! Thank you for sharing!! It's always so magical to come upon so many of the same bird together all in one place. I read once that a group of cormorants is collectively referred to as a "gulp" or a "bask"! The name suits their behavior. 😍😁
David Bridger@handmade_ghost @otterX I once sat on my boat deck for a quiet hour and watched a relentless long battle as a cormorant swallowed a big eel that refused to go easily. Gulp is the perfect description.
@DavidBridger @otterX Oh, wow! 👀
@handmade_ghost oh that’s absolutely perfect for cormorants! Thank you!
Here’s the large “bask” on the Charles!
