Drying off: Double-crested Cormorant

I think cormorants look exotic when stretched out to dry.  They fish underwater, so a good dry-out is a common part of their existence.   This one had come out on a very low plank on a small pond.  Often they fly up into a tree to dry out.

  2. I love to see these birds too, at least they keep still long enough for a quick sketch!

  5. I watch these birds do this frequently in the Puget Sound waters while perched on floating logs,
