By Ted Grussing… this Cormorant seems to have that look as he launches himself into flight, the teal colored eyes staring down the watery runway stretching out before him. Another shot from a recent trip to Watson Lake and getting down to lake level for me and drifting into the waterfowl, getting very close to them before they spook and take to flight.
