Cormorants ride very low in the water, swim and dive around and hang out on rocks and in trees with their wings spread wide to dry. When in the water, the place where the neck joins the body often looks submerged, they ride so low. Our raptors have hatched, and are keeping the parents ragged finding food for hungry bills.
Thanks for your message from the river, it gave me a moment to relax and recollect all the things that I can't seem to find the time for these days. Thank God I have the memories, and know where to go to recapture some of them.
