"F-F-F-Food... Please..."
For #WildlifeWednesday here are some Brandt's Cormorants — namely, an adult with its naked chicks in the nest, one begging for food. What a struggle! Photographed recently at La Jolla Cove here in San Diego.

By popular demand (@bartlomiejnestvarno@pol.social), last Saturday short walk between two sewage plants, in a place called Poor Little Ass (Dupina. No, it's not about donkey), near a pond named Hollow (Zapadlisko). You cannot make this up ;)
#NewYork: Dozens of dead birds found on #LongIsland beach believed to have died from #AvianFlu
Story by Pei-Sze Cheng

"A Long Island beachside community in #SuffolkCountyNY is worried about dozens of dead birds that have washed up on the shore and been found in backyards, especially because officials believe the birds died from avian flu.
"#PatchogueShores in #EastPatchogue has a private community beach. Earlier this week, Tim Jones, the vice president of their association, was walking along the beach with his family when he noticed many dead birds.
"'I saw three #seagulls, a #cormorant, and I got a count of 11 #ducks,' explained Jones.
"NBC New York walked with him and saw a dead gull, a dead #goose bobbing in the water and various other smaller birds strewn along the small stretch of sand.
"Jones contacted the Department of Environmental Conservation. The DEC said it appeared to be avian flu because there have been cases in Suffolk County and Nassau County before. Officials from the department urged the community to close the beach to avoid any contact with the dead birds."

'Ganz nah dran' waren wir an diesem Kormoran. Allerdings aus einem nicht ganz so angenehmen Grund, er war so erschöpft dass er nicht mehr in der Lage war zu flüchten.
Immerhin schien er gemerkt zu haben dass wir ihm helfen wollen damit nicht noch mehr Menschen aufdringlich werden. Nachdem er sich erholt hatte sprang er wieder ins Wasser.
