great shots. your heron is perfect and the green eyes of the cormorant brought back a funny memory. a few years ago i was driving down my street and came across a cormorant w/ a fish hook in its mouth, dragging a 3 ounce sinker. its head was facing backwards because of the weight. i grabbed the bird and removed the hook and was repaid w/ a nasty bite to my knuckle. excruciating pain. I've always felt bad for the fish they catch as i know a little bit of what they are feeling. gary
Thanks for sharing your story! Fortunately that hasn't happened to me (yet!) over the years of helping injured birds.
