This was taken today while out with Len on eastern long Island I said to Len I wish something would float by on the ice and a couple of minutes later he said whats that I said it looks like an cormorant. I thought to my self It would be nice if it were a great and what do you know it was :D I guess some times wishes do come true.

Canon 1D 500mm f4 2x, Hand held lens resting on car window, Manual exposure sunny 16 1/1000 @ f10 Iso 400, Auto focus.

I thought it was a penguin for a minute. I have never seen the feet of one of these so this is pretty cool. Nice shot.
