There is a two-acre pond by the freeway on Hardman Avenue on the way to work. A pair of cormorants have been diving for fish in the pond the last few days. There is one high spot, their favorite spot to post to allow their wings to air dry.
On Tuesday morning, a great blue heron was holding court in the cormorants' spot. As I drove by I noticed a cormorant stick its head and bill out of the water about 6 feet from the heron. He did not get any closer, but he was teasing that heron, trying to irritate him--from a safe distance--and push him away. I do not know if this ploy was successful or not.
