Another pretty good morning for a walk by the river. The high clouds made the light a little inconsistent but I managed to snag some good stuff. A Double Crested Cormorant is today’s featured subject. I just wish I could have gotten a better look at its feet – they are so weird. Mama Red-tail was in the exact same spot as the last couple of outings. I’m starting to think that someone Super Glued her to the tree. Not much happening in her nest or in the Cooper’s nest, either. to wrap things up today I got a good capture of a Bullock’s Oriole who gave me a whole second to grab this shot.
