Double Crested Cormorant

I never really paid much attention to Cormorants until I saw this beautiful bird holding it's wings out to dry.  As I got closer, I was amazed at the detail of it's feathering and was totally captured by it's beautiful eye.  I was told that the item sticking out of it's neck is a radio antenna to monitor where it goes etc.  It stayed on this log for more than a few minutes and flew off.
