Double-Crested Cormorant Colony on the East River's U-Thant Island

NYC Audubon has just completed its 32nd consecutive annual Harbor Herons nesting survey of the islands of New York Harbor--including tiny U-Thant Island in the East River, home to a colony of double-crested cormorants and great black-backed gulls. A total of 48 cormorant nests were counted on the island this year. To learn more about NYC Audubon's Harbor Herons program, visit www.nycaudubon.....

@@jacobolson6145 I know, but some people don't care, they just go. A guy was arrested there, he wasn't worried about it. I meant people just go on jetskis or something.
