… this double crested cormorant in full breeding plumage has sighted his mate to be … afterburner engaged, he is blasting across the watery depths to find his one true love … or it could be that he simply felt we were getting a little too close for comfort and decided to find an area where we were not.
Cormorants use both feet simultaneously to push themselves across the water as they gain the speed necessary for flight and they are able to maintain speeds in excess of 35 mph. To learn more about the double crested cormorant click here .
It was a terrific day and the new day will be so too. Going to check out some new lakes and habitat east of here later this morning … and about time for the fall migration to begin and near daily trips to flyway areas.
Have a beautiful day … keep breathing and smile … the gift of life is absolutely fabulous! Into the weekend for me and the plan is to be back Monday morning. Take time to read the wisdom of Max today …
Cheers,
Ted
