Sunrise and Cormorants

Can you see the crescent moon?


Monet or Van Gogh couldn't have done this any better...
 The petro-chemical industry, Beaumont to the east and Houston/Pasadena to the west, plus high levels of humidity provide the raw materials...












Trash pickup is a good excuse for birding...
I was surprised to see Neotropic Cormorant, white outlining the bill is diagnostic field mark...













This juvenile Double-crested is much paler than the adult, and the bill and throat patch is orange.






 The photo quality is lacking, but I couldn't resist the expressions on these head shots...
