Blue-footed Double-crested Cormorant

 

This next bird became an interesting find, a Double-crested Cormorant with turquoise blue feet that matched its eyes!  Its webbed feet should be black.

I shared this one to an eBird Maryland cohort, and they’d never seen/heard this before.  It was suggested the change of the feet color is from its past diet.

Has anyone ever seen a blue-footed cormorant before?  This curious mind wants to know!  🙂
