See my new post on the fence blocking the view of the cormorants at Breakwater blues.
It’s time! The Brandt’s cormorants nesting on the Monterey Harbor breakwater are expecting. This was my morning sighting and first photo of the pale eggs under a female. She stood up briefly after the male dropped off new nesting material.

The cormorants have taken over the upper breakwater. Now’s a great time to watch them display, build and replenish nests, and sit and wait for their hatchlings. Visit if you can.
