p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Cormorants in flight


I photogrpahed these cormorants flying over the East Pond at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge here in New York City. All are taken from inside the East Pond Blind so I'm shooting hand held with the Sigma 150-600 Sport on my D300s. All are cropped, some quite a bit.

Excellent captures, Morris! Most of the time I just see this guy sit there basking in the sun and drying out its feather.

Great hand held shots. I like your showing both adult and immature birds.

Thank you Greg,
We have huge numbers of them right now. Some will pass through and some will winter here
