Sunbathers

Shot at an enormous distance – almost to the far banks of the very wide Potomac River – but I liked these cormorants (I think they are) sunning themselves on a log. They were the only birds we saw that day.

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

The cormorants on the west coast do the same thing. Sometimes they stretch their wings to dry them.

A fine composition, I like the way they are eyeing that gull intruder.

Nice distant shot Helen, but you missed one - you also shot and saw a seagull LOL.

Even with that distance you got a great shot of the cormorants. V

Love how the cormorants appear to be checking out the newcomer to their island.
