Cormorant taking flight at the Ponds yesterday. Watching the bird, it occurred to me, what a difficult task this must be. I tried to put myself in its shoes (shoes?). Start flapping those wings, water clinging to them, weighing me down. Leaving a wake. The body clumsy. Then finally freed and airborne! Flight! All this probably no big deal for the Cormorant!
