And then he was gone

Tim got this great shot of a cormorant taking off at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall. Unlike the last time we were there, when there were at least a dozen cormorants in the lake, we only saw this one fishing, and then he left.

They look so awkward out of the water, but this is a great catch of the transition. V

I like the unfolding of the wings in their impulse to fly. An excellent catch. V
