Cormorant And Gull Sharing Lookout Duty

 My birding adventures are brief and less frequent during most of the summer. I came upon a rocky area in Saybrook where a cormorant and gull seemed to be sharing lookout duty.

 The rock next to them seem to be a popular spot among the local terns.

I like when cormorants spread their wings to dry. It looks like a bird that should be guarding Dracula's castle.

Here's a little clip of the terns. I just noticed that some were banded.
