The cormorants are back!

I had an unexpected morning off from work on Tuesday so of course we had to stop by Constitution Gardens to see who was there – loads of geese, a few ducks, several cormorants (who haven’t been there for months), and of course my friend the heron.

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