You Have What You Say

This morning as I was leaving the the house I remarked, "I'd like to get a picture of a swimming double-crested cormorant from decently close, not 200 yards away.  I've been trying all summer for this."  I received what I said multiplied.  Three cormorants swimming, plus other photos of these birds.

Saw a mink run across the path, but did not get a pic of it.  Two park district employees came by later, and they advised that sandhill cranes will be migrating through this area in about a month, and that a bird I saw at Farmington Lakes was an osprey.

In the extras I posted a cormorant standing on a rock and the same bird as it takes off to fly.
