Unusual road kill

[Anthony Overs via Canberrabirds <>]

On Friday morning I was driving south on the Tuggeranong Parkway and as I 
approached the Molonglo River bridge I could see a black and white lump on the 
very narrow bridge roadside. As I got closer I recognised the lump as a Little 
Pied Cormorant. 

Quite often as I’ve driven over Scrivener dam, I’ve seen waterbirds flying 
along the river, and up high over the dam. That includes Darter, and great, 
little black, and little pied cormorants. 

I would assume that a cormorant commuting along the river would fly under the 
bridge. This bird must’ve flown very low over the bridge rail to get hit by a 
vehicle. Very unusual.
