Airborne, double crested cormorant circling me near the marina, probably just scouting out a place to land on the water or checking for fish. It was a tight circle though, low down around me too.

Circling me like I'm a gourmet buffet. Spoiler: I'm just a snack, and not for you. 🐦‍⬛🌿🪶🦉🍁

A Double-crested Cormorant in mid-air, banking aggressively in flight as it prepares to land on a rocky outcropping over the sea.

When you realize you only have two minutes before the first meeting of the week! 🏃💨 This Double-crested Cormorant is coming in hot. Because they are heavy-bodied birds, they don't exactly do delicate landings. Brace for impact and let's get this week started! 🌊💥

A Double-crested Cormorant swimming in textured blue water, with its dark body submerged and only its long neck and head visible.

Barely keeping your head above water? For this Double-crested Cormorant, riding low is a feature, not a bug! 💻 Less waterproofing lets them dive deep, fast. If you feel like you're sinking, you might just be positioned for a deep dive into complex problem-solving. 🌊🦅

A Double-crested Cormorant walks along a wire, its wings spread for balance. It looks like a small dragon.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #SteppingOut. This dragon -- I mean #DoubleCrestedCormorant --no, I mean dragon -- is going for a walk on a wire, for some reason.

A #DoubleCrestedCormorant with wings spread. Unlike most water birds, cormorants lack the ability to waterproof their feathers. This helps their diving, but they have to dry their feathers for flying.

This Double-crested Cormorants has a long neck, brownish-black plumage with a bronze sheen, a bright yellow-orange throat patch, turquoise eyes, and small, wispy head crests.
