Juvenile Double-crested Cormorant

We took these cormorant photos over the weekend. He was swimming by Saturday and standing on a branch on Sunday. The juvenile Double-crested Cormorant has a lighter color, particularly on the chest than the adults. We can't see any crests on the head, but our bird book indicates only the double-crested gets this light.
