Launch Sequence

Double-crested Cormorant taking off from a salt marsh near Mountain View, Ca this morning.

This is probably my favorite bird in the SF Bay Area; it is a powerful swimmer, it's reflective eyes assist with hunting prey down along the bottom, and the distance it travels underwater and the time it stays down is quite impressive. This morning I caught the Pelicans waiting for the Cormorants to stir things up, and then feed up on the surface.
