This floated up to our blind when we were hunting. What is it? Some kind of exotic? Has a somewhat hooked bill. This thing floated to within 30 - 40 feet of the blind and we sent the dog to get it.

Cormorant. Probably the most intentionally poached bird around.

That's pretty funny but no way in hell I would have sent my dog to get a cormorant much less pose with it for a picture.
