When I walk at Lake Sumter Landing, The Villages, FL I see these birds in the boats on the lake all the time, they seem to love waiting their turn to dive in the boats...smiles

Yes! Very comical series!! Super spotting!! :)
Oh Robert I loved this spotting! Don't forget to update it with the info MaryEvans2 gave you.
Yeah! They're running diving tours. Fabulous set of pics. Thanks.
They look more like boating birds to me! :)
This is such a funny series; love it.
Most of them look like Cormorants. Great shots!
Absolutely love this series. If you get close enough you might be able to see their beautiful emerald green eyes!
