"Down-the-Hatch"

Elkton, Maryland

This Cormorant was quite the fisherman. He did have some difficulty getting this one down.
Photo taken from Kurt & Susanne's River House deck; cormorant was a long way out on this grey/overcast day.
Best viewed in 'original' size; although the image is somewhat 'soft'.

Wo\w! Great shot. Guess you didn't have the TC on, hence the need to crop?
