…of Notre Dame. Once again, Fr. Terry Ehrman, CSC, a botanist and theologian at Notre Dame, managed to capture some of the more exotic birds of campus. When we think of birds living on campus, we usually think of the common robin and sparrow, but Notre Dame is a home to many more birds than just them. On capturing one of those birds, the double-crested cormorant , Fr. Terry said, "The double-crested cormorant is a bird that is more common than you think...be on the look out for them!"
Fr. Terry also went on to say, "These all black 'sea ravens', in the Pelican family, appear pre-historic as they perch in trees or swim through the water with body submerged and only their neck and bill above the surface before they dive for fish. Their ancestors evolved 34 million years ago." So, if you're ever on Jeopardy, don't shy away from taking birds for $100...
