“So That’s Where You Pick To Dry Your Wings?!?”

This cormorant may not have chosen the *best* spot to stand around and dry off his wings. But other then one big mouth, no one seems to care much so I guess it’s working out OK for now.

  It still amazes me how often the birds appear to actually ignore the alligators. And lucky for the birds the gators do the same. 🙂

It seems there is a lot of risk taking at your pond.

  Some of the birds seem to enjoy living on the edge. Brave or just dopey? Not always sure. 🙂

Wow, I think the cormorant was really pushing his luck. 😯 Was he playing ‘Chicken’?

Coraggioso il cormorano, speriamo che non se lo siano mangiato!!!
Bellissimi scatti Phil, complimenti!

Wow, he’s taking his life into the danger zone. That is definitely alligator island — and that one guy was sure letting him know about it! Love that reflection!

I can’t make up my mind whether he is very brave or on a suicide mission!

That does look a bit risky. Still, I expect he’s ready to take off if there’s a move from his companions…
