Juvenile Cormorant

Several years ago I watched a group of Juvenile Cormorants fishing in a local lake. After fishing under water for a while, the flew into a tree on the opposite side of the lake to dry their wings.
I walked around the lake to where they were and was able to get beneath the tree where the birds were drying their wings and grabbed a few shots before they went back to fishing.

The feet look better adapted to swimming than perching in a tree. Nice shot.

Thanks Alan, they have web feet because they spend a lot of time swiming under water while fishing. I guess they have dual purpose feet!
