The Best Cormorant Pics Yet!

My fantastically talented husband shot all these pictures last weekend, and they are far better than any I could have taken myself! In fact, I now realize that Double-crested Cormorants are actually exquisitely beautiful birds. I think I'm in love again!

The Cormorant slices through the water with barely a ripple,

swimming smoothly along,

and then diving down for its prey.

They stay underwater for a long time, and cover a lot of distance underwater. You never know where they'll turn up! Tom managed to catch this one just as he surfaced. Pretty cool sequence, right?

    The photos certainly do the DCCOs justice, but I am still not quite sure about "exquisite." Good shots

    Well I would certainly call them exquisite... the picture-taking also, way to go Mr. Wrubs!

    This blog has been fun so far, and greatly informative :) keep it up Miss Wrubs!
