Dramatic pose

The birds weren’t really doing much, certainly not fishing, just posing.

*****

We stopped by the lake on the National Mall again to see if the heron had flown south. Much to our surprise, he was still there, along with quite a few cormorants, despite the bitterly cold weather we’ve had over the past week, although it was almost 70 degrees on that particular day (!).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

probably thinking you were not really doing much, just taking photos; some nice birds' eyes there
