Cormorant Quintet

Looks like a Double-crested Cormorant singing group to me!

I saw these five Double-crested Cormorants yesterday at Oahe Dam, and they looked to me as if they were about to burst into song. I wondered, "Would I enjoy listening to singing cormorants?" Then I remembered this quote from Bernard Meltzer: "The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best."
