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.
Double-crested Cormorant with turquoise blue feet
Has anyone ever seen a blue-footed cormorant before? This curious mind wants to know! 🙂
It’s eyes are blue, too. Usually they are emerald green. It is not April the first…nope, never seen that before. Maybe a cormorant flew to the Galapagos Islands?
I have not seen this before; but now I’ll be staring at cormorant feet!
I think I will forever be staring at their feet from now on too! Thank you!

Yea, it probably had a cool vacay to the islands! hehe We see their eyes as turquoise blue, not green around the Chesapeake Bay.
What an amazing find Donna, a blue footed Cormorant, yes it is a great match for eyes.
A new sub-species? 😉 🤣 Thank you, Ashley!
How curious! Be careful what you eat! Hugs.
I thought of that too 😂with all the crazy colored stuff we eat! 🤪
How true! My mum always said God should have fitted her body with a zip. Personally I’m not sure about that but we could check colour changes. 🤣
🤣
That is a great find, Donna!
Thank you, Indira!
Maybe it had been standing in cold water for quite a while?
Great thought! 😉
Wow! Amazing find, maybe a new species and you’ll get to name it. 🙂
hehehehe wouldn’t that be special! 😉
I haven’t. What a wonderful and unique sighting! Its feet match its beautiful eyes.
Thank you, Deborah!
What an interesting find.
Now I’ll be forever looking at this species feet for another one! 🙂
What an amazing find, very exciting!😊
Thank you, Belinda, I was really surprised! 😊
Most interesting.
This one just wanted to make a fashion statement.
How extraordinary! I hope you find out what the story is there!
Me too!
I have never seen a blue-footed Cormorant before – how intriguing.
Now I am looking at all cormorants’ feet, lol.
