Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 11:28:36 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands

This wildlife photograph captures a juvenile cormorant in a dynamic wing-spreading pose atop a weathered wooden utility pole. The bird's dark plumage contrasts beautifully against the clear blue sky, with its lighter-colored throat and breast visible. The texture of the aged wooden post adds character to the composition, while a second cormorant can be seen perched in the lower right corner. The image was captured at the Yolo Bypass Wetlands using a telephoto lens with extender, allowing for detailed documentation of the bird's behavior in its natural habitat.
