On a SCUBA diving trip to the Monterey Coast, in California, we explored the shore for scenery and wildlife and managed to get pretty close to some Brandt's cormorants. These birds dive underwater and catch fish by extending their necks and catching their prey in a beak that has serrations that point toward the mouth so the fish can't escape. Their feathers are a shiny black and their eyes are blue as you can see in this photo. They can be seen with their wings spread out to dry in the sun.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
