Cormorant In Fading Breeding Colors

A Brandt's Cormorant post breeding season thus the fading colors. His gular throat patch is now pale blue from vivid iridescent dark blue and his eyes have turned turquoise from vivid cobalt blue. They stay year-round at the Oregon coast but in lesser numbers in fall and winter.
