Description
A double crested cormorant, Phalacrocorax auritus, stands on a single branch with its wings outspread. It seems, in this dramatic pose and digital painting to be just at that moment between connection to the earth and the freedom of flight, The background, in softly glowing striated colors of purples, greens, and blues, is reminiscent of the color show of an aurora borealis. The mood is one of both the excitement and the serenity of the gorgeous natural world and the feeling is one of imminent success.
The cormorant is a coastal seabird widely distributed across North America. It eats primarily fish, which it finds by swimming and diving. Unlike those of many water birds, its feathers are not waterproof, and it must dry them after spending time swimming.
