Bumpy Take Off!

Cormorants are quite fast taking off from a body of water. This one went from the water in the spot on the left through two splashes to airborne, something like skipping a rock across the surface of the water. It was fascinating to watch, and interesting to see how quickly they are in the air from sitting in the water. I love to capture such images.

Great shot, Vern. I suppose the splashes left in its wake would be distracting for would-be predators.
