Microcarbo melanoleucos melanoleucos

These birds were also present in the trees near the lake, although not as abundant as the little blacks. Not sure if these birds were nesting or not. They are beautiful cormorants.

Spotted this bird sunning on some rocks along the coast. We saw dozens of Pied Cormorants and a handful of Black-faced Cormorants, but this is the only Little Pied Cormorant I recall seeing.
