Ugly landing.

On Cape Cod they are called a sh--ting machine. I have seen many a sailor's weekend ruined when he comes back to his sailboat on Friday evening after a week of a cormorant sitting on the mast. All they have to look forward to is a weekend of cleaning.

That would be a bummer. I've seen mechanical devices that spin in the wind to prevent such messes. The Canada goose is pretty active in the rectum department also. Most golfers know this and watch their step. vz

They are ugly, vz. They are fun to photograph, though. Nice shot.

I have seen just about very devise man could possible invent and still not solve the messy problem. A hose will not wash it off. It takes a strong soap and a lot of muscle to clean up their boat. I have known sail boaters sell their boats because they spent all their time clean instead of sailing. Needles to say I am not a cormorant lover. I was also glad I was a power boater

Wow, sell your sailboat because of prolific sh#tters. I can understand though. vz
