This ain’t no picnic

On March 8, 2016 By Mike and Christy

But then again with the sun out and the rain no longer pouring down this might be a Cormorants idea of a picnic.

Excellent shot, Mike. I just ran by one of these guys drying out today in SF. Quite a wing span.

I like the photo and the blog title. Funny! The bird reminds me of a guy on the street opening his trench coat to sell you some fake watches or something. Lol

  Thanks Cormorants drying off are quite a sight for sure and have been associated with numerous imageries and yours might be a new one to add to that list. Hope your day is a fine one.

I always think cormorants know how to enjoy life. Eat, swim, sun yourself, repeat.

  Not a bad routine indeed. I sure could adapt to that and maybe alternative between swimming and hiking.
