This morning I observed two small cormorants roosting on Hickory Island in
the Cootes Paradise area of Hamilton. They were best viewed from the
lakeside trails that are accessed from the Royal Botanical Gardens
Arboretum. Both birds were on the outermost or topmost branches of
logs/trees allowing them to stand out from the crowds of Double-crested
Cormorants.

Distant photos can be found here:

Good luck!
