The Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.

This Cormorant gave me a nice approach with the branches considerately not blocking the bird’s eyes. This was taken at Green Cay, where the Cormorants and Anhinga were working hard to bring home nesting material. Action has slacked off and there doesn’t seem to be as many birds as in years passed. I hate to say it, but it doesn’t bode well for the future. I’ll throw my pitch in to support politicians who support environmental protection, conservation and public places. Pitch over, have another beer! It’s not the best juxtaposition but let me with us all and wonderful New Year and I hope to see many of you out in the field or at least online. All the best, Mike (Double-crested Cormorant - Nannopterum auritus) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 5000)

Double Arch ... in Arches National Park.

Double Arch is in the Windows section of Arches National Park. It is 112 feet tall with a 144 feet span. It is a pothole arch, meaning that water erosion from above resulted in its formation.

Double vision - Total stillness across Lochan na h-Achlaise sees a snow topped Black Mount in mirror perfect reflection on the waters of the lochan. Shifting sunlight breaking through the clouds paints a wonderful scene of constantly changing dappled light striking the Black Mount. Nature's light play and magic at its best.
