    That is so cool! Love the details of the cormorants and the contrast they create.

    Thanks!. I should have titled this "Colony" instead of "Breading Grounds". It's certainly a nice spot the colony found for themselves with a rocky uplift which is reminiscent of a bedroom headboard to protect from a direct coastal wind and a flat area to gather - almost as if they managed to somehow commandeer a bull dozer to level it.

    No really, stop taking photos of my house, can't you see i'm drinking my morning coffee in my chonies!
    Okay, really is THIS your house? So nice. I would love to live in a place like that. I may be malaria fodder in there though. Were you in water when you took this? AC bills must be insane.

    I wanna know where this is!! I've driven and seen most of the coast from LA to SF. I'm guessing this is far north of SF? Quite lovely photo. I didn't even know there are cormorants in California.

    The place is lousy with them...
    In the photo below (along the shore of Stone lagoon), those rocks were not originally white...there is a cormorant rookery here.

    I have made the same image as the cormorant image above on Type55...150mm lens. framed the same, but a long exposure and the black dots were moving. Not well focused either...so it goes. But always in the back of mind if I happened to be in the area again.
    Don't have to now.

    My father, an avid trout fisherman, hated pelicans and cormorants because they eat fish. I have no idea whether they really do eat trout, or maybe just perch and such, but that is a memory of him I'll hold forever.

    They establish colonies along the sea coast of North American and may other countries. This particular colony is located here in North California south of San Francisco probably near Ano Nuevo State Park - I don't recall at the moment.

    Wow, didn't know that. I've been to Ano Nuevo.

    I just love that NatGeo documentary on this Chinese guy on the Yangtze (I read this kid's book to my kids too when they were young) and how they train them to catch fish. They put a ring on their necks so they don't swallow it.

    Not my house. I wish!
    Just loved the lights during the sunset and the reflection in the water.
