Pelagic Cormorant

This is a Pelagic Cormorant that is distinquished from other cormorants due to its iridescent green and blue-violent feathers and smaller size. This shot was taken a couple of weeks ago at Don Armeni Park. This shot was taken a couple of weeks ago. Seattle's temps have warmed up along with rain that is melting the snow...hooray. Have a great day.

What a great shot. I haven't spotted one of those myself. I have plenty of pictures of the double-crested cormorant, but not that little guy. I'm going to keep my eye out for him :)

FAV - what an exotic looking bird - and you've so expertly captured him with spot on composition and that shallow depth of field such a nice muted backdrop
