Mystery bird



I was just out testing my new camera in Kangerlussuaq when I stumbled across this cool bird. I haven't been able to figure out what it is - any ideas? For scale, that pipe next to the bird is about a half a meter off the ground.

A former biology student that I happen to know thinks its a Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), a supposedly common bird that I've never seen before. I think she's right, but it was difficult to identify because it wasn't too eager to move around.

Nice bird, but I am much more interested in the wood and rope pipe and connector. More on construction details next time please.
