Marginal IQ on this DC Cormorant, but it made me chuckle, and I figured I should post at least one Theme shot before the month's out. I particularly liked the way he lands with his tail first, even before his feet touch down. Maybe it's just because he's a juvi and hasn't quite gotten the hang of it.

Bill:

This is fun, almost seems to have a slightly concerned look on his face, like I hope this works out OK. Neat about the tail touch down first.

I like the concept of the second bird, but it is too OOF and too close to the frame edge to work for me. I remember trying that one last year or so, and it just didn't work well for our esteemed staff or members :t3

Cheers
