Double-Crested Cormorants Pair - a photo on Flickriver

Please click here to view this pair up close!

The double-crested cormorant is a large, black water bird with an orange throat patch and long neck. Its bill is either blunt or hooked at the tip. During breeding season adult birds have short tufts of feathers over each eye. This was caught during our trip to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden where you can spot many species of birds from Wood Ducks, Canada Geese, Mallards, Coots, Flickers, to Herons.

I guess patience paid off for shooting wildlife birds. There were only one, and then there were two!
