There was a bunch of these guys gathered on some rocks on the causeway to Howard park in Florida. I don't know if it's breeding time or not but they were making grunting noises like a pig. They were funny to watch. This was one of them grunting.

That's a pretty funny capture and title Claude.
The "belchy" one is darker than it's companions. I wonder what if anything that means in the Cormorant world.

I think they're just lazy buggers and that's yawning! :) I see them do that all the time as they sit, drying their wings, preening. Great shot this, Claude.
