Double-crested Cormorant

 These are not the images I would have liked to have been my favorite from this day. The ones I missed were of an adult Bald Eagle ready to take this cormorant for dinner. The last photo here is of what a cormorant looks like when it's about to be pursued by an eagle. It flew about 25 feet toward me and then dove under the water. The eagle was cruising about 20 ft in the air and when it saw me move hovered in place moving backward, going straight up all the while looking directly at me. My camera was on the tripod with no chance of getting it off in time to get a shot.  So I have to be satisfied with these and this story for what its worth.
