Cool eyes!

The hook on their beak looks like it could tear some stuff up!

Thank you.

I'm sure I wouldn't want to get close to the business end of any cormorant.

Good catch Trevor. I haven't caught one of these yet.

Thank you.

I've only seen them on the East coast and Europe so far.

Sorry I should have been clearer.

They are quite common in Hyde Park at times, they come stay for a few weeks until all the big fish have been eaten, go and come back when the small fish are big enough to be interesting and then the cycle starts again.

This is such a common place to see them (why can't they turn round)?? I have seen other people put similar photos on flickr.

That is a Double Crested Cormorant. They are quite common in Ontario.

Close looking in the summer but if you get the right angle you will see two plumes of feathers. One above each eye.

Cool, you caught the color in his eye! Love the Billy Idol doo.
