Drying off
While I was at the Japanese Friendship Garden last Friday, I saw two cormorants perched around the lake. While I was watching them, this one started his drying ritual making a perfect opportunity for me to snap a few pictures. He was very obliging.
That is one superb photograph! The detail is very sharp and the colors zing. We have more anhingas here than cormorants, but they look alike and behave much the same way.

This is a pose that Cormorants must enjoy. I have seen them doing this many times. Nice capture!
Oh they are such show offs Sharon :) Super shot, I love that they seem to actually enjoy having their photo taken!
He's got his eye on you, Sharon!
A wonderful portrait, Sharon. He looks quite distinctive!
Does not appear to be a bit shy.
Love to see them drying in the sun. What perfect contrasting background!
This is a wonderful photograph, Sharon!
Beautiful photo. I never knew cormorants had green eyes!
He looks mean.
You got a really good photo of this bird. His eyes look very penetrating.
You certainly caught a lot of detail in the feathers. Great shot!
I love his green eye. Nice focus on all his feathers, too.
