Great angles on the cormorant

Thanks for the compliments,
I am glad you named the bird.
I was going to do a little research to find out its name

Great shots on the cormorant. I especially like the composition of the 1st one. Any idea what those hanging gourds are supposed to be?

Nice shots Oren, they look like Double-Crested Cormorants I think. We have them on the east coast too, the young ones are a lighter color. Those bad boys can really swim too!

Well done my friend. Love the last one.

Peter Zack · 11-09-2008, 07:31 AM

Very good, the first shot is well done.

Two nice photos, especially like the first one.

The hanging gourds are bird nests. I see them scattered around the area, kind of a cool idea.
I see these birds around a fair amount but this is the first time I had a chance to photograph. I see them standing with their wings spread drying out after a dive quite often. I hope to capture that pose soon.

Thanks again all for your wonderful comments.
