22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Double-crested Cormorant morning swim.
While driving Blackpoint Wildlife Dr. early one morning I came upon the Double-crested Cormorant migrating south. I took the image from the window of my car after watching the Cormorant coming to the surface after diving for fish. After many trys I finally captured the bird just as it surfaced. I had never notice the circle of yellow spots around the eye and water cascading off the back until post processing.
