The eye of the cormorant

Another of the 10 or so cormorants that were at Constitution Gardens that day. In almost all the pictures we took, it was impossible to see their blue eyes, but I think Tim nailed it in this one.

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

The secret hiding place, posted earlier:

Nikon D850 ,Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
1/800s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very very beautiful. I never noticed their eyes before. I like the sharp detail on the bird and subtle detail in the water. V
