Color photo. A Double-crested Cormorant wading in gently rippled water. Its body is fading right and its head is turned to face to the left. It is mirrored in the water below it.

I love walking and shooting in wetland areas.  The wildlife you can see in them plays a significant role in that love, and the birds there are a significant part of the wildlife.

The focus today is on the larger birds, and here we have representation from a Double-crested Cormorant, Great Blue Heron, and Canada Geese.

All shots taken at the Center for Urban Horticulture.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 + 1.4 Teleconverter
