A flock of Double-crested Cormorants was hanging out on a dead tree that has fallen into a pond on a recent sunny afternoon. When I first spotted them my view of the group was blocked by reeds, but this one had found a higher perch.
As I worked my way along the bank I saw these two were having a squabble.
One exited with a big flap while the rest ignored him. You can see the bird from my first image near the top, towards the left.
As I rounded the end of the pond I was able to get a view from a different angle and closer to the water.
Like the squabble shot and your last capture is wonderful!
Thanks, Donna! It was interesting to watch the group of theme and I was happy to get a view of the whole branch.
I’m always amazed by the number of birds you encounter at any one time. A wonderful story you weave with your words and photographs!
Thanks, Belinda, glad that you enjoyed it! It is fun to just see these groups and their behaviors as well as photograph them.
