Here’s another photograph of the Double-crested Cormorant I found hanging out at the duck pond in Glen Rock. After fishing, cormorants dry their wings by holding them outstretched for the sun and air to dry. I managed to get a portrait of this one while showing that behavior.

Techs: Canon 1D Mark II N, 300mm f/2.8 IS plus extender. To order this print, purchase stock rights, or view other photos I have for sale, please visit my website at www.karipost.com.

Great photo! What is the focal length with extender and what was your distance to the bird?

Hey Carl, I’m not sure how far I was. Around this time of year I usually find a female or juvenile at the pond. I’m using a 1.3x crop factor camera with the 300, and I don’t remember which extender I had on, so I can’t give the total focal length.
