Happy 10th hatch day to our wonderful Cormie! We couldn't imagine a better ambassador for their species. Her enthusiasm for learning, engagement and meeting new people makes it nearly impossible not to adore her. One by one, she is achieving her mission of opening eyes to the incredible complexity and beauty of cormorants. Keep going Cormie! We'll do everything in our power to support you. ❤️ *If you would like to help contribute to the ongoing care of Cormie, our other ambassador birds and patients in our rehab facility, please consider making a donation online: coastwildlife.org/donate Last year brought new adventures for Cormie, like a new in-school program we've been testing out! Here you see Cormie the Double-crested Cormorant made a special appearance in Seaside High School’s marine biology class! Students got an up-close look at this charismatic seabird while learning about her unique adaptations—like her webbed, totipalmate feet, waterproof feathers, and seasonally striking crests. Thank you to Mr. Johnson for the invitation and kind words: "It was the most memorable marine biology class that my students had all term and Cormie was an absolute rockstar!" We’re proud to connect students with Oregon’s coastal wildlife through education and firsthand experiences. (fb)
