Cormorant Preening on Weathered Wooden Post at Dusk
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 11:28:25 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A dark-plumaged cormorant is photographed in a characteristic preening pose, with its head tucked down towards its body, perched atop a weathered, sun-bleached wooden post. The bird's detailed feathering is visible against the gradient blue sky that transitions from deeper blue at the top to lighter tones near the horizon. The late afternoon or evening light creates subtle textures in the bird's plumage. A second bird or object is partially visible in the lower right corner of the frame. The composition emphasizes the bird's solitary grooming behavior in this wetland environment.
