This Renoite appeared last weekend to be sunning on a rock, but it was actually enjoying a wind that was blowing at the time, turning from time to time to keep the force of the wind head-on. UNR biologist Jack Hayes said he or she appears to be a double-crested cormorant. When the breeze ended, the bird pulled in its wings.
