Cormorants on Watch

The tree was full of cormorants. It overlooks the lake, and they were using the tree as a launching pad to fish. I've never seen so many in one place.

Awesome picture.

This is wonderful, the way you've caught their distinctive shapes.

Great shot - I think at least two of them are singing!

Nice Capture like the title on Guard looks like the two left Cormorants are in a discussion .

@agedrunner @taffy @quietpurplehaze @gerry @vickisfotos Thank you all very much! I'm thinking there must have been a heavy minnow population in the lake, and the cormorants were working at reducing it. They would dive a few times and return to the tree to dry their feathers before going again.
