i hope you added this to "Men with Pets". That's definitely better than the guys passed out drunk on couches with their dogs. Now, I don't know if a cormorant counts as "cute" per se . . .

icarus, from little nemo!

Thats a really cool story!

Hey, I just learnt new word today!
Before checking the second photo I thought cormorant is some sort of large parrot. In my language this species is called "merimetso" ("sea grouse")
(I know cormorants have nothing to do with grouses, but hey I didn't create that name :P)
Great pics and great story :-)

"Icarius" is such a beautiful, clever and appropriate name!
Posted by: Nic | January 18, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Icarus may not be cute, but little redheaded Johnny...
Posted by: Little Ben | January 18, 2008 at 12:05 PM
awesome story! Birds aren't my thing, but that still sounds cool to me.
Posted by: Damon | January 18, 2008 at 12:44 PM
hooray for fostering animals!
Posted by: Leah | January 18, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Hooray Icarus! Birds make shitty pets, way to put 'em back where they belong, Johnny!
Posted by: Eve | January 18, 2008 at 01:01 PM
Go animals! Go Johnny! Thanks for posting this, Chris.

Yay Wisconsin! And helping birds!

WOW, Johnny has such a big bird....
Posted by: KC | January 18, 2008 at 02:01 PM
Anyone who fosters animals ROCKS! All y'all out there who've never done it - check it out! In many cases the organization you work with will provide food, litter (if needed), etc. for the animal - you just need to provide time, love and patience.
Way to go, Johnny!!

I hope Icarus doesn't fly too close to the Sun.
Posted by: Jill | January 18, 2008 at 02:15 PM
It is a nice story and all, but word, do we really need to know whether they bought or are renting, and where they, and there relatives stay.

To all you nay sayers, I say "All your dreams are dead."
Johnny and Icarus, you rock!

Hm... Move to Arkansas please?
Posted by: Jen | January 18, 2008 at 04:12 PM
Wow! what you do is really amazing. What a beautiful bird. xD
Posted by: vanessa | January 18, 2008 at 04:20 PM
Wow! Sadly, I've only seen a dead one up close after it washed up on the beach. It must have been a baby too, because this one looks even bigger.
I prefer to see these things soaring above me from afar, but I'm glad to know you're keeping 'em flying Johnny!

Johnny is cute! His hair is pretty Chris. Take notes. J/k! His story was sweet. Any girl is lucky to date him because he likes animals and he's cute. A win-win for all teen girls like me! lol

I am a 30ish MN woman and aren't Minnesota boys (especially ones that love animals) the cutest? Who doesn't love a midwestern man?
