Lake Michigan cormorant?

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Sue Whiting City: Evanston, IL
Our Evanston kayak fishing class encountered what appears to be a cormorant, from online searches. It rode along on one of the yaks for half an hour or so. Neither bird nor humans had any luck. In 60 years of living near the lake, it's something I've never seen. Is this unusual? I do have pictures.

Sue, Thank you for sending in the pictures of the cormorant riding on your kayak.
