Last cormorant standing

This was the only cormorant we saw in the lake, which is being drained for maintenance. Previously there had been about five hanging around. As I mentioned before, sadly the heron is long gone.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Conventional, posted earlier:


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Unfortunately, the bird is not alone, or I might say it is alone, but among many animals that are also alone.

Maybe they went to their colony to nest. Both species nest in colonies. A fine image of this beautiful Cormorant! V
