Posing in the Spotlight

We have three types of cormorants that frequent Oregon. The most common of these is the Double-crested Cormorant. I see how some of them got this name, but seldom see the crest on most of them. This pair in Delta Ponds is typical. I really liked the lighting on the birds, as I was there at just the right time.

Yes the light was just perfect for this shot. You can see detail of the cormorants in this photo that one doesn't usually see in photos. An excellent capture. Timing is everything.

Lovely warm light, and great looking (often maligned) birds.

A lovely shot of them, Vern. And isn't it fascinating that their necks can sometimes almost look white? You got very nice detail in your image. The double crests only show during breeding, and only on the mature males. ;)
