brandts cormorant

I was is in San Diego for my first born daughter's wedding. we went for a walk to look at some seals and these guys were nesting on the cliffs. they are much more interesting than the ones back home

That second one is super, Bob. Where have these guys been all my life? I don't think I've ever seen one posted here before.

Wonderful shots Bob. I agree with Al.

Wow! Look at those eyes! That second shot is beautiful. It almost looks like it's part reptile.

^^ I agree with you^^^

Ditto to all above! Eyes, throat-the coloring is awesome! Great job, Bob, especially that second shot.

Love the captured coloring of the eyes and under the beak on that 2nd shot. I've never seen this type of cormorant before -- much different than those on the east coast.

I would have passed them up thinking they were just cormorants but upon closer inspection they were beautiful

Is it possible to find a reliable authorized dealer in China to buy Canon products cheaper than US in China?

Awesome, Bob, great colours, brilliant shots in every way. How did the wedding go?

Awesome shots I have never seen a bird with blue eyes before.

Yes Ian, colors are unbelievable. I almost passed them up since I thought they were just cormorants. The wedding was really great- they had a new drinking game- take a drink when you see me cry. It was the best week ever. Thanks for asking

Nice set, the second one is awesome.
