The orange float was spinning around while the Cormorant was perched atop it. The Cormorant didn't seem to mind since he was opening and closing his wings and having a good time showing off. This shot was taken at Green Lake in Seattle.
Look at that detail on those feathers - no small feat on a black bird. Shows so well on that orange float (I thought at first glance it was a lost inflatable ball).
I love Cormorants!!! They are so comical and do the best diving and swimming under water!!! This is a spectacular capture and how funny that it is on this float!!! Perfect timing in the catch and awesome details and lighting!! FAVVVVVVVVVVVVVV!!!!
