Cormorant crowd at Constitution Gardens

We finally got down to Constitution Gardens, and much to our surprise there were at least 10 cormorants in the lake. Sometimes we see one or two there, but never anything like that.

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

A fine gathering of cormorant visitors. They must have known you were coming.

A very popular spot for the birds I see...that is a lot of cormorants, they look like the Double Crested kind. v

There must be fish there if there's cormorants. A fine shot with all the birds.

What a great composition with that assortment of whaterfowl in various poses. The stonework and bare trees provide a lovely backdrop.

It is interesting how they are evenly spaced apart. It’s great to see so many. I like the composition with the wall in the background. It looks beautiful. V
