Dapples

Whenever I see a Double-crested Cormorant up close I am always dazzled by their dappled plumage. The colors and pattern are so subtle - if you see one from a little further away it just looks black, but up close, what riches! They have a wonderful color scheme - the jade-green eyes are also very striking. A visit to Swan Lake never disappoints.

    Excellent photo, B.
    I live a block away but I don't get to the Swan Lake nearly enough. I've taken my share of photos of these birds, usually in the early morning when the mist over the lake adds a ethereal quality to the landscape, so I never really see the detail that you've captured here.
