Birds Blast Butterfly Blips

Birds blast butterfly blips, demand equal time.  Four butterfly blips in four days is enough, they say.  As I don't want to star in a remake of 1963's The Birds, I give in!

Today's Best Bird is the double-crested cormorant, and the cormorant's classic over the shoulder as it swims away pose.

Now for the serious stuff.  Bird was an estimated 25-30 meters away.  Shot wide open f5.6 at 500mm and popped ISO up a notch to 640 for faster shutter. Close cropped to see if image would fall apart.  Looks good; a burst of sunshine through high clouds helped.
