These guys were shy and pretty hard to get much closer to(not to mention I was on a bluff and the rain was just starting to sprinkle)

Well done! Those are great, especially considering the conditions.

thank you....i was actually at work and had some break time to kill so I took the camera out with me because the rain had just stopped about 30 mins prior and the sun was starting to come out...i got out to the spot where the pics were taken and boom it started to rain and cloud over again...i was so pissed...there was a trash bag in the truck so I tore it in half ripped a hole in it and made a rain sleeve :D but then as I got back out to take the pics BOOM all the Cormorants FLEW THE COOP :( so I went and took a ride around the park and sure enough when I got to the farthest opposite part of the park the sun came back out as I was standing on a floating dock(it was initially still sprinkling on me) of course there was a Great Blue Heron just off the dock but I left the camera in the truck because it was raining....well now the sun is out as I pull away and I actually need my sunglasses on ...so I head back to where the cormorants were to see if they by chance were back...and they were...well by the time I got out of the truck and into position with the camera and tripod...yep you guessed it...it got immediatley dark, cloudy and started to rain/sprinkle again...this time i was able to at least fire off a few pics....my biggest mistake was I was in 200 ISO and missed some nice flight shots once they all took off....anyway I disgustingly packed up again due to the rain which turned into a strong shower...which 15 mins later turned into blizzard like conditions for like 20 mins and then THE SUN WAS OUT but i had to work the rest of the day :(
