Migration

This afternoon, outside my house, there was a huge migration of cormorants that passed by. There was about 1000-2000 of them I'd say. I was lucky to have enough time to get my camera out and take photos. Still, they were only in sight for about 5 minutes.There have been a few other times that I have gotten to see huge flocks come and land on the lake, but unfortunately they are too far away to get good photos with. Still, it's amazing seeing these huge flocks form a big black spot on the lake.
