Have you ever seen a headless Cormorant?

I pulled in my driveway (surrounded by ocean) and saw this headless bird... so I went to check it out.

#Video #Nature #Oceanfront #MyYard #Bird #Cormorant

At the edge of the shoreline, a bird appears to be standing, headless!
It's a common sea bird, a Cormorant.

After slamming the car door, I took a walk over and discovered it was just sleeping, and I am so close, I could just pick it up, but I woke it, and it dashed and splashed off into the ocean. Like a good Canadian, I said "Sorry" LOL

Moin, it was a little rough today at western #BalticSea near #Kiel ;-)
Eurasian #wigeon surfing the #waves, #Cormorant's got some extra showers while drying off their feathers and #Sanderling's were running up and down the shoreline, #gulls hoovering in the wind.
It was lovely, walking at the #beach with little black dog and #birding.

A pied cormorant (shag) down by the estuary here in Chch.

The self-criticism is strong with me today, so not sure if I'll actually get around to pressing the Publish button...

And another set of photos with more birds.

A brown/grey cormorant standing on a pier in the sea and looking like its enjoying itself next to a grumpy looking black cormorant, a group of three black cormorants swimming in the sea, a group of cormorants on the same pier with one of them spreading its wings while two seagulls look very unimpressed, and bit rained-on looking seagull on another pier with a pile of seaweed and other stuff in front of it.

A photo of a brown/grey cormorant with a shiny yellow beak standing on a pier in the sea. It looks like it is enjoying itself.

Next to it is a grumpy looking black cormorant.

A photo of a group of three black cormorants swimming in the sea. The feathers on top of their head are pointing upwards, and their yellow beaks are in great contrast with their dark feathers and the generally grey scenery.

A photo with four cormorants and two seagulls on a pier in the sea. Three black cormorants are sitting on the left side, the fourth is at the bottom and spreading its wings while turning its back towards the camera. In front of it are two seagulls that look entirely unimpressed by the display of its wings.

A photo of a seagull on a pier in front of a pile of seaweed and other stuff. The seagull looks a bit rained-on and is probably in need of a hot tea now.

Moin,
#birding on a grey day at western #BalticSea
Winter guests:
- European #RockPipit (Strandpiper)
- #SnowBunting (Schneeammer)
The water was crystal clear and so I could watch a #Cormorant (Kormoran) hunting - amazing.
My favourite #gull was there too, #GreatBlackBackedGull (Mantelmöwe), sadly not ringed. Beautiful beasts, the largest gull species.
Found one #ColourRing #HerringGull (Silbermöwe), it is a local, but haven't met her yet.

A few photos from today's Sunday walk with @vivia, featuring a few nice birds.

A magpie with its turquoise-shining black feathers sitting on rusty railings, a cormorant sunbathing on a pole in the sea, and a little egret in search of fish in the swallow water and then flying away.

Some photos from last Sunday's walk in the neighborhood with @vivia.

Featuring: a group of five cormorants swimming in the sea, one of them drying its wings, another cormorant standing one legged on a pole in the sea looking for fish. And two pictures of a hooded crow: on the first it just flew away out of the picture, to land on a bucket of water a little bit further away for drinking, which can be seen on the second picture. Its beak still has some drops of water from drinking.

Trying to figure out what hashtags are needed is always too much. #DangerNoodle yeah.

Octopus in a tide pool. It washed up and suckers huge and small are visible, warped a little bit the ripples on the top of the water.

Nearly dry cormorant looks back to check out the photographer. It is a black bird with black webbed feet on a black rock. A waves washes this way in the distance.

Killdeer. Brown and white bird with striping on its head looks back between testing out spots in the sand to sit. The bird is currently standing in the dark sand surrounded by lighter rocks and tufts of green.

Something that looks all too much like a rattlesnake even with a skinny tail showing. Gopher snake curled up on Rattlesnake Ridge, slightly hidden by long grass.

#birds #cormorant

A double-crested cormorant shakes water from their head after a quick dive in San Francisco Bay. Sparkling water droplets are suspended in the air in an elliptical glob around their head and neck.

The bird's bill is hook shaped with a mottled/striped pattern of browns. Their face and chin is covered in orange-yellow skin, contrasting with their gem-like blue eyes. Feathers on their head and neck are black. They fade into brown feathers with a black rachis and black edges.

This male #cormorant was decked out in all of his most beautiful colors of the season. Busy guy was exhausted, sleeping on the rail of a boardwalk over the wetlands in Florida. So tired he could barely open his eyes as I walked by just a couple feet away. But, those eyes, gorgeous!

Grey heron and cormorant, two of my favourite seabirds, face off on a boardwalk beside the River Shannon in Limerick

#Limerick #Shannon #river #birds #seabirds #GreyHeron #heron #cormorant #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography

The River Shannon running through Limerick city, with a row of two- and three-storey red-brick houses clustered along the far bank. In the foreground is a narrow boardwalk alongside the river, with a Grey heron on the left and a cormorant on the right, standing facing each other a few metres apart. They're probably indifferent to each other, but it looks like a Western stand-off.

Encountered a surprising number of #birds on my cold walk at #Ogmore #Castle yesterday. They were dealing with the brief blizzard much better than me. Pictured are #CanadaGeese, #Teal, #Shelduck and #MuteSwan, Also seen were #Mallard, #Cormorant, #Goosander, #LittleGrebe and #GreyWagtail

#DailyPhoto #birdphotography #Cymru #Wales

A variety of birds swimming in a river. nearest to the camera are a few Teal, the Male has a chestnut coloured head with broad green eye-patches, a spotted chest, grey flanks and a black edged yellow tail. The females are mottled brown. Just behind them are a pair of Shelduck with dark green heads and necks, chestnut belly stripes and red bills. In the middle distance the river curves sharply to the right and a pebble beach has formed . Just behind that a single Canada Goose can be seen with a black head and neck and large white throat patch. There are a few other, unidentifiable, birds also on the water. White spots of snow can be seen falling

Looking down the River Ewenny. Its undulating left bank is covered in thin patches of snow. Further on is a line of trees before the land rises and is covered in thicker snow. On the river 2 bright white Mute Swans have their beaks buried under their wings. Further on a flock of Canada Geese are swimming down river, their black heads and necks and large white throat patches clearly visible. A few other, unidentifiable, smaller birds are also on the water. Snow is falling

Six Canada Geese, with black heads and necks and large white throat patches are feeding in a marshy field lightly covered in snow which is still falling all around them

A Shelduck flies through heavily falling snow, its neck and wings outstretched clearly showing its dark green neck, red bill, white wings with thick black borders of black primary feathers, a white back with a chestnut coloured band and a white tail

A little pied cormorant is caught in motion at the left of frame, wings outstretched and one foot trailing in the river water. Behind it is the tell-tale evidence of a running takeoff, a line of three evenly spaced splashes still with water in the air, and further back rings of ever-widening ripples stretching to the right edge of frame, pointing to where it has been furiously striding to gain airspeed.

It was October 12, 2022 and the numbers of migrating birds continued to climb. More American White Pelicans and now seeing more Double-crested Cormorants. It was 7:40am & sunrise was 7:37am plus the Waning Gibbous Moon at 92% was almost directly overhead lending to beautiful colors on the water.

Neotropic Cormorant

This cormorant looks focused. I have a lot of unused photos of these birds, enough to last until I go south again.

Thanks to the #BirdPhotography hashtag here I’ve learned that this weird-looking duck is actually a #cormorant (#aalscholver in Dutch). Picture taken back in February this year, at the rowing lake in the Amsterdamse Bos.

A cormorant seen from behind, sitting on a pole with its wings outstretched, sunning itself. Its head is turned to the right, so that it’s yellow and orange face catches the light and looks bright and vibrant compared to the shimmering black of its wing feathers.

These birds look a bit different in flight - kind of like a goose. I'm happy about this capture even though it isn't as focused as I would like.

Neotropic Cormorant.

This is the second bird I photographed at the Sabine Wildlife Refuge a couple days ago. They don't venture much farther North than the Southern coastal areas. In the second photo, a bird spreads it's wings to dry out. Although, I think it looks rather like a maestro getting ready to lead an orchestra.
