Yesterday at IBR

Yes, Kramer is still alive and well, almost always arriving during feeding time.  He is the master fish thief!

Below, are some of our Brandt's Cormorants.  They look sedate here, but cause more carnage to staff than any other bird we have.  I have had healing little wounds the past few months.  They are quick as lightning, strike like snakes, have a bill made of knives, but we love them anyway!

This is typical if the cormorant's head comes uncovered when handling.  Eye protection is a must!
