Double-crested Cormorant

Caption on plate: Florida Cormorant
"On
the 26th of April 1832, I and my party visited several small Keys, not
many miles distant from the harbour in which our vessel lay [Indian Key].
Mr. Thruston had given us his beautiful barge, and accompanied us with
his famous pilot, fisherman and hunter, Mr. Egan."
Later that day, Audubon painted the cormorant near Indian Key. It was
his 47th birthday.
