Black-tailed Gnatcatcher - Scottsdale
In pond #6 of the Riparian Reserve at Water Ranch, I came across two of the small cormorants fishing bobbing up and down in the shallow water. Finally the bird hauled out on the edge and fluttered their wings to dry up in the sun. Further into the park I came across a group of no less than 60 birds in one of the other ponds.
