They said they were moving on to another area where more restrooms were provided for the traveling public. <br /><br />Several lead cormorants said they were willing to pay whatever the price to use a quality public restroom. Others commented that basic services for the islands needy should taken a back seat to building the bathrooms. "I was horrified to think that I would have to fly back over to the other side of the beach to relieve myself, I am not going to live under these conditions!" Said Phala C.

Wonder what's up? Maybe something to do with the storm - like all the spring plants coming alive on the island. Saw some daffodils blooming last week! Yipes. Do love the cormorants - they are so sleek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-37288792266799920082011-11-29T10:16:46.761-05:002011-11-29T10:16:46.761-05:00Thanks Philip!

After I read her post I called her up. "Surely you didn't see thousands of ospreys," I said. "You meant cormorants, right?"<br /><br />"Of course," she said. "Somehow I just had 'osprey' in my mind."<br /><br />So, if you read the post earlier today and wondered about it...you will now see that "osprey" has been changed to "cormorant." <br /><br />It still must have been an impressive sight! Thanks for sharing this with us, Amy.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-37981234602280895952011-11-29T06:32:42.056-05:002011-11-29T06:32:42.056-05:00And the batteries were probably dead anyway.And the batteries were probably dead anyway.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11755628364871122881noreply@blogger.com
