Double-crested Cormorant – The Head Turn Makes The Shot
For some reason I seldom like my photos of this species very much but I do like this one.
An Unusual Cormorant Fishing Technique
It isn’t known if this is a novel technique unique to only a few individuals or it’s more widespread among cormorants but just hadn’t been seen or recorded before. Either way, I think it’s fascinating.
Double-crested Cormorants Doing What Cormorants Do
Cormorant Landing On Water (+ a related physics question)
Sometimes I observe this phenomenon when birds land on water and other times I don’t. I believe it depends on the landing style of the bird but I’m trying to figure out how and why it happens.
The Cormorant And The Willow Tree
There are still some beautiful fall colors in the valley, especially when they’re bathed in warm morning or evening light, and late yesterday afternoon I actually succeeded in capturing some of them in the background of this four image series of a juvenile Double-crested Cormorant in flight.
Double-crested Cormorant Wing Flap
There’s twelve images here but this post is really about my experience using Canon’s “new” EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens in combination with a 1.4 extender (teleconverter).
A Strange-looking Cormorant
This juvenile cormorant immediately caught my eye as being different from the others it was with.
Double-crested Cormorant – Paying An Unfair Price For Being Such A Good “Fisherbird”
I should aim my lens at cormorants more often than I do. Both their physical appearance and their behaviors seem almost prehistoric and that piques my interest.
Cormorant On Golden Pond
The Double-crested Cormorant is a common species throughout most of the continental U.S. but its namesake “double crest” is seldom seen well.
