Cormorants

These Cormorant gals/guys looked like they were waiting for a ferry to take them across. When none showed up, they decided to swim. All this transpired at the Ponds this morning. It was really cold again, and I always shudder when I think how cold the water must be!
 
On another note ~ In Marin I have rarely seen large numbers of Cormorants congregating like the ones today. Usually I see no more than three or four in a group. But, from the Larkspur Ferry, I have seen large flocks of them flying at great speed and just inches above the water.
