Walking north today I come to the city park on our bay, not my usual destination but I wanted to see the progress they were making on the improvements to our entrance channel and vary my routine a bit.
I spied two Cormorants perched on some offshore posts. Despised by fishermen who feel that they ravage the baitfish stocks I find them a visually pleasing bird as they rest on the pilings, sometimes spreading their wings to dry in the sun.
The shapely silhouette of a Cormorant with long neck and slightly uplifted head and bill gives one the feel of the Orient, a classic presence painted on silk, more an icon of the far east than a summer visitor to our bay.
Rested, the Cormorants drop into the water to continue a day of underwater fishing.
