Hi Karen, if these are long-necked dark birds perhaps Cormorants? Here's a link to a photo (http://wildernessclassroom.com/superior/double%20crested%20cormorant2.jpg).

Brown Pelicans also look quite prehistoric. Here's a link to a page of photos (http://www.surfbirds.com/cgi-bin/gallery/search2.cgi?species=brown+pelican).

Let us know if we're close here or if you have any more details. Best, Andy
