NEWPORT - Have you ever wondered how in the heck a pelagic cormorant manages to build a nest of seaweed and grass on a vertical rock face on a rugged coast such as Oregon's - a nest that actually sticks around long enough to produce cute little cormorant chicks? Or what all that white stuff is on the black rocks to which they cling?
The answer to both questions could be found at the first 'Bonding With Birds' event, held over the weekend at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area.
Warning: It's a little gross."
