2/7/12--possibly as many as four Neotropic Cormorants, Palm Beach
County, Wakodahatchee Wetlands. Observers: Ardith Bondi, m. ob.
Directions: From Florida's Turnpike, exit at Atlantic Avenue (exit 81).
Drive east 1.7 miles to Jog Road. Turn left and drive north 1.5 miles to
the entrance (no fee, open sunrise to sunset). GPS coordinates where
Neotropic was photographed at nest: N26°28.734', W80°08.609'. (DeLORME
p. 109) From parking lot, walk out boardwalk and take left at "T"
intersection. Continue past line of trees on both sides of boardwalk.
Cormorants' nests are in stand of trees out from but closest to left
side of boardwalk. Apparently, Neotropics aren't nesting now, but do use
trees in same location to rest during day and roost at night. Today, one
Neotropic was still present at noon, and moved about from tree to tree
for approximately two hours before flying out of area.  See photo of
Neotropics at <http://www.ardithbondi.com/slideshow96.html#0>. (Google
