Portrait of a Diving Bird
I captured this image in the Fraser River estuary just south of Vancouver, Canada, where cormorants feed mainly on bottom fish. These are salt water fish, because the tide pushes salt water into the river. The cormorants are very skillful fishers, often surfacing from a dive with a fish in their beaks. This bird is called a double-crested cormorant.

the shell like feathers on the back are beautiful and the face and expression are wonderful. Great image
