Long-Necked Envoy

As I sat outside, gazing at the calm waters of the lake, a bird swooped overhead—swift and silent. I managed to capture a couple of images as it passed. It turned out to be a Neotropic Cormorant, its silhouette etched against the sky like a glyph in motion.

Art of Flight

I captured this image of a neotropic cormorant (Nannopterum brasilianum) while crossing the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Louisiana. The bird was passing the ferry at just the right moment, allowing me to take some quality photographs.

The photographs I share here don’t appear as vivid as they do in my Pixel’s gallery. To make them load more easily, I reduce their size and slightly lower their quality. Take a look:

Neotropic Cormorant in Reflection

I spotted this neotropic cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana. The rippling water and its reflection in the image create a captivating and serene effect that I really enjoy.

Neotropic Cormorant in the Bayou

It can be enjoyable to take an imperfect photograph, isolate the interesting part, and perhaps improve the lighting. That's what I did with this image of a neotropic cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus). In this picture, if you look closely, you'll notice the slightly odd posture of the cormorant's neck and head. The cormorant is just beginning to dive underwater.

No need to dive underwater for fantastic bird images; just check out my photo gallery:
