Media notes
This young Cormorant did a masterful job of walking steadily on ice by using their tail for balance. When i noticed them, they were walking from the marina almost all the way to Spruce Island - about 200m - stopping twice to survey the ice before finding a place to jump in.
Observation details
1 chose to walk over the ice from the marina to open water at Spruce Island. They walked steadily without slipping and using their tail for balance. They only stopped twice to look around studying the ice, deciding where the water was open. While i was watching, there didn't appear to be any open water for them to have come up by the marina, so i am not sure how much more they actually walked on the ice but it is about 200m from the marina to Spruce Island.
