Cormorant under the dreary weather;

                           To All my Friends in America☆☆☆
            Good Morning America; I wish to start my post to say this today;


I'm linking this post to Saturday's critters", "id-rather-b-birdin’" 

About a week ago on a dreary day after the rain, my husband had an errand close to our city park. I asked him to drop me there and he picked me later.

          I was lucky spotted this cormorant far back at the lake in the park. 
I hadn't noticed he was posing like this, looking brave until I zoomed the camera :-) 


They do have amazingly flexible bodies (or necks) !!!
Come to think of it, their beaks are acting as their hands as well p;)


"Hey, don't disturb us on this quite dreary day"
I found the butterfly among the white hydrangeas;   
My focus was wrong;  No, I couldn't catch up its move p;) 

Thank you very much for stopping by;
My husband is out tonight (Japan time), I'll try my best visiting you.

  2. Hi Miyako san, I love your Independence Day image!
    And such beautiful pictures of cute birds! I agree, their neck is seriously flexible :-)
    The white butterfly flying around white hydrangeas is beautiful!

    I'm enjoying long weekend :-) Have a lovely weekend, Miyako san!

  4. Dearest Miyako,
    Thank your first off for the beautiful 4th of July photo you placed here.
    And you were very lucky in capturing this cormorant as he was preening himself in front of your lens. You also showed very clearly his hooked bill. That is quite different from the Anhinga that I wrote about a couple of posts back. Indeed, their neck is like a snake, very flexible and they have to be for catching their fish meals.
    Sending you hugs from the USA from your American friend.

  7. Thank you for the good wishes Miyako. We had a quiet day since we're away from family and friends, but we took time to think about what the day means.

    The cormorant is beautiful -- I can see every one of his feathers so clearly (and can tell he did a great job of preening them). All your pictures are wonderful ...thanks for sharing the day with us.

  15. Great shots of the cormorant as he does a bit of preening. I find it really difficult to photograph butterflies - why don't they just hold still? :)
