It’s been a looong time since I’d taken out my camera for #bird #photography. But last weekend we had beautiful weather, and I decided to give it a go again.

This cormorant was so kind to pose for me.

Did you know that cormorants have feathers that both absorb and repel water? This improves their maneuverability while keeping them insulated in cold waters.
