    Plane-spotter story part 3: We can do a motorcade too!

    One last comedy shot for the plane-spotter story. It seems the birds had picked up on what was going on at the airport that day too. "Oooh! Motorcade vehicles arriving? We can do a motorcade too!" So here is a "motorcade" of Double-crested Cormorants heading southwards along the bay with Brown...

    Quick-dry

    With no handy rock or stump to climb up on, the cormie just treaded water for a bit to shake out and dry off.

    Splish splash, he was taking a bath

    On my way back to San Francisco airport, I made a stop at Spring Lake Park in Santa Rosa where we have a memorial table for my parents. It's usually a good place to bird as well, but that day the only shots I got were of this Double-crested Cormorant taking a bath.

    Friday fun 2: the counting challenge

    This is just one small section of the shortest of three stone breakwaters packed with birds. Another breakwater is blurred in the background; the third was full of people fishing and that one and the fourth are not visible in this shot. There are at least three species showing in this shot, and...

    How many different birds can you fit into one picture? My identifying skills are not great yet, but I'm hoping these are correct. Double crested Cormorant, American white pelican, Ring-Billed gull, and in the background out of focus (didn't notice him until I was reviewing the images) great...

    Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus floridanus) and Ring-billed Gulls (Larus delawarensis). The cormorants are mostly 1st yr birds (whitish neck fronts) working a school of fish while the gulls were kleptoparasiting the cormorants as they surfaced with a fish.

    A really close shot, from about 10 feet away and 600mm, this cormorant was standing on a rail and had its neck down low watching the water, in case a good fishing opportunity came up. The cormorants in parts of Florida are so accustomed to people walking by that they will stand on a rail as you...
