I watched this cormorant gather sticks from one side of the Silver River and fly across over some trees on the other side for a long time. He made a trip about every three minutes and I am glad because it took a few trips before I captured a photo in focus and in frame. He was only about 25/30 feet in front of me flying fast left to right. It could have been both the male and female taking turns at the task or maybe just the female and the male was watching football. It was a beautiful afternoon in the Silver Springs State Park in central Florida and nice to be out in the warm sunshine.
