Mount Pond: Ragged Phalacrocoracid

More whittled (than sculpted) in large.
Autumnal alternative (double exposure)

I went to see the Cayuga, but it had to be a cormorant for my blip as they were being very amusing: taking-off from the water, landing in the trees, flapping (double exposure), flying low, flying-by...
I didn't even photograph the Cayuga, but did take pics of coots, crows, magpies, and squirrels as the warmth of the sunshine increased.

Others here (or right from Take-off run)
