Great Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo, Kormoran
These Beauties were yesterday and today to be seen on the golf course.

He gets up to 90cm tall and the plumage you see here is his winter plumage.
The head turns more white during the breeding season.

This was a long 3 day weekend with major hangover parts.
Yesterdays pics were part of the hangover recovery.
Underexposed and not what I wanted them to be.
Glad you like them, nonetheless
]Will catch up with you all tomorrow, as usual
(I thought I'd throw in a couple of American idioms.I envy you all of these great birds to photograph. Those last two shots would have made great entries in Weekend Reflections.

I was able to see a few Double-crested Cormorants on the golf course yesterday. They sure are fun birds to watch and not all that easy to photograph. Nice shooting!
