Cormorant Flight 1

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge - Lipsec, Delaware
May 19th, 2023
I caught this Double-crested Cormorant flying hard and fast across the edge of the Delaware bay. These Cormorants are amazing swimmers as their webbed feet and feathers allow it to move very effectively under the water’s surface as it hunts for fish. Their feathers become water logged as a result and why it is very common to see a Cormorant standing out of the water, wings spread wide as it attempts to dry its feathers so it can take flight.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
