The entertainers

The great blue heron may be my favorite at Constitution Gardens, but the cormorants are pretty entertaining as well.

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

*****

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 (!).

Hit of the show, posted earlier:

This is just fabulous with the two of them! I can never get this close even there are tons of cormorants around.

Nice shot of the pair and good capture of the blue eyes.

Nice action shot. The transition from sharp photo to unsharp Pbase post makes me crazy when I post. V

Beautiful capture of this pair as they dry their wings on this cold winter day, Helen. ~V
