Cormorant on a mission

This cormorant at Constitution Gardens was constantly diving but easy locate by following the ripples and bubbles he left all over the lake. Taken at quite a distance and severely cropped.

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

Still loving the park, posted earlier:

Seems like he's on the lookout for something. Good catch even at a distance. V

Very nice for a large crop!

Definitely a light colour than the ones on the west coast.

He seems tired and annoyed. The ripples and reflection are lovely together. V

A fine image, even tho severely cropped, it is still pretty sharp.

Nice capture in the green-reflected waters Helen. Good to get the blue eye so well too.
