Trying to get some action shots on the first warm day in a while. Not what I expected. A black vultrure.

As pointed out, its a cormorant. Thanks.
Merlon bird id was wrong.

I find owls especially hard to locate - especially a Boreal in with such a great pose and background (I heard one at night in Newfoundland years ago!). Well done!
