A double-crested cormorant looking back at me with those beautiful eyes.

I think their hooked beak and big feet tend to get in the way of their beauty with many people. Most people seem to love their eyes, but I also like how all their feathers on their wings stand out due to the thick, black outline on them and they range from small to large feathers which is pretty cool. You don't see that in many birds. Anhinga are similar and don't get much love, either.Once one looks past the awkwardness - they are quite beautiful - nice shot
when they take off it looks like they cant decide if they are going to walk on water or half fly under water
Thank you, Steven.Ol' Green Eyes! Very nice shot; beautiful! Love the detail.
