Taking in the sun

There were at least three cormorants at the gardens on our most recent visit, taking in the sun. They had been gone since last March, when the lake was drained for maintenance.

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

A fabulous cormorant close up. Love that the shoveller is quiet unconcerned with its proximity.
