Local wildlife question
I often see large dark birds on the street light poles in my area. I’m not sure if they are cormorants, vultures, or something else. I have definitely seen vultures in my neighborhood, doing their part cleaning up roadkill. But I also live near two of the local bayous with lots of water birds like egrets and night herons, so a cormorant might also make sense. Night herons also nest in my neighborhood. I’m terrible at estimating size, can’t tell if the head is bald or feathered, and can’t see neck length when they’re perching.
Does anyone know what they are? Or most likely are?
(Sorry I don’t have a photo)
