Rapid Departure | Phil Lanoue Photography

Rapid Departure

A cormorant hops, skips, and takes off from the marsh on it’s way to hopefully better fishing on the far side.

Cormorants are skilled at fishing and even a small group of them can quickly put a real dent in the fish population.

Phil,
Always enjoy your blog and posts-wonderful bird photos. Thanks for posting this nice series of shots -all in good focus. Looks like you are making use of the 10fps and focus system of your 70DMK2. How do you rate it over your old 7D for bird photographs?

  Thanks very much. Actually the new 7D is in at Canon to be checked over. Still hard to beat the original 7D for fast accurate AF!

He looks like he’s running along on the water almost. Great action here!

  They do sort of need a lot of runway to get going. 🙂
