Got any fish? Actually he'll take anything ^^ This garbage collector was captured in Horseshoe Bay as the ferry for Vancouver Island pulled in.

@CoastalConn, great shot, such an amazing bird. Still looking for my Snowy Owl, had I went south instead of north on the Delaware coast yesterday, I would have had my first Snowy Owl, maybe Wednesday when I get back over there.

So here is the reason why the cormorant I posted yesterday let me get so close. He is missing half of its wing.
I saw him from a distance and slowly stalked up to him, taking my shots and always expecting him to fly off any second. Only when he spread his wings I saw that he simply would not be able to fly off.
When I came too close, he fled into the water. I watched him for a while and he obviously got more comfortable with my presence. I watched him fishing and diving, which did not seem a problem for him. He can feed himself, but he can't escape any predator or danger.
He might have lost his wing to a White Tailed Sea Eagle, or simply being shot (not good enough) by a hunter. Sea Eagles usually do not take up Cormorants.

Shot in O'Hare over the holiday weekend. I actually walked by this twice until something clicked in my mind to bring me back to it. I feel like it ended up as an interesting social commentary. Nearly everyone sitting in these booths was charging and talking on their phones.

I ran through the picture with a low powered LED light to create the light. First attempt at adding light to a night photograph.
