Chilly cormorant

The cormorants were still at the gardens over the weekend. I wonder how they’ve fared in this arctic weather.

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

I often wonder how they survive in this kind of weather. Excellent detail and sharpness with a great catch light in its eye. ~BV~

wondering if perhaps the water is warmer than the air
