Cormorant

Cormorants are in competition with the seagulls to be the most common bird in the Monterey area. They are great divers and can go pretty deep.

This guy was by himself, resting on a rock near the pathway in Pacific Grove.

The original had poor use of negative space, so I cropped in and desaturated it.
