Are You Sure We Aren't On The Runway?

The way the two cormorants on the left are looking up while the other glides past behind them looks to me as if they are wondering if by accident they are on the airport runway. :) The cormorant going by has just landed. The scene is in Delta Ponds.

Cormorants are the strangest looking birds, aren't they? Very prehistoric!
Great capture of this trio Vern! :)

I'm amazed: I thought Cormorants would live more near the seas.... Oh, well...

Lovely capture and pose, Vern.

from their poses it would seem more arrivals are beginning their descent...precise exposure catches the colours in the feathers so well..
