Male Double Crested Cormorant in breeding plumage at the Riverwalk Parkway in Riverside CA on Friday 2-25-22 in early afternoon light.
He was on the north end of the little island in the Duck Pond and at this point he landed about 9-10 feet to the left of a female who was also putting on a show. They kept preening etc. and edging closer until I left 20 minutes later when they were about 4 feet apart. That background is the sky reflected off the water with a lot of floating scum and algae clumps.
I was on the observation platform at the other end of the island.
Canon 90D, Canon 70-300L @ 300, 1/500 @ f/6.3, ISO-200
hand held at 30+ feet, very contrasty light, I need to go back during the week and hope some cormorants are around

He’s so ugly he’s cute. Eyes are like jewels.
That is him alright. At the right angles the eyes are bright green.
