This photo of a Cormorant was taken on the Anhinga Trail in the Everglades in Florida. It was taken with the Canon 20D and Canon 500mm f4 lens. AV mode, 1/800 sec, f4, -1 exposure compensation. This was taken in the morning and I love the way the water glistens off of its oiled feathers and its green eye, indicative of breeding season.
