Heading into the weekend in Erie County, PA with bad weather – rain all day Friday, overcast/windy/chilly Saturday. Last Tuesday was fairly summerish – warm w/ fluffy clouds, thunderstorms in the evening. These shots from Tuesday at South Pier, both Double-crested Cormorant and Turkey Vulture soaring in the clouds.








More Double-crested Cormorant:




Learn something new every day – never noticed Cormorants in ‘soaring mode’ before. Two individuals gradually spiraling upwards to gain altitude then flying way up in the clouds.
Cormorant against the clouds is gorgeous!
