The touch of sunlight on the feathers was a bonus. Nice to see a shot of a cormorant on the wing - we mostly tend to see them at rest, but that black vulture is an ugly looking beastie.

Re: GESO - Conowingo Dam
Full disclosure: Right after I finished setting up, I turned to chat with another photographer who had just arrived. I turned back to the river just in time to see a mature eagle swoop over the water, catch a fish, and fly away just 50 yards in front of me... I had high hopes for more activity but, sadly, that was the show for the day. -- Christian http://404mohawknotfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com On 11/30/2010 11:34 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Christian, A good effort.

Re: GESO - Conowingo Dam
Thanks, Dan. I'd be happier if it wasn't such a severe crop (it's maybe 25% of the original frame). And, YES, it is my duty as the original cormorant ambassador to the PDML to include a cormorant in as many posts as possible. -- Christian http://404mohawknotfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com On 11/30/2010 11:57 AM, Daniel J.
