I've never been this close to a cormorant, nor do I expect I ever will again. This was obviously a young one by the way it behaved. It was sitting on the guard rail in Maplewood Friday afternoon. It allowed me to get in quite a few good shots before it flew away. Oddly enough, as it flew off, we saw a crane, wings spread wide, also leaving the scene. Unfortunately,I was too slow for that shot.
Awesome pics. The first one looks like he asking "What you looking at?"
ReplyDeleteThanks SuziCate. I hardly expected to get a photo as we drove past the first time and then had to turn around. But it kept sitting there.
ReplyDeleteI agree in the first shot that cormorant is certainly showing some attitude.
Nice photos...never seen one this close either...cool webbed feet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ericka, I couldn't believe it sat there for as long as it did, or that it was so far inland . I always imagined they stayed close to salt water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Laura. I've never seen one of those.
ReplyDelete@Patti---We see them around the Lahave River different times when we go into town, but always from a distance. I never imagined seeing on so far inland. He didn't seem spooked by our truck when we passed. Just a bit laid back if you aske me.. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joylene. Glad you liked them.
