Cormorant chicks at sunrise, Shanks Island, Chesapeake Bay, Virginia

Tolerant of people, these fuzzy cormorant chicks allowed me to get close enough for this tight portrait. The rising sun in the background adds interest and color to the scene. This photograph was made while leading my "Chesapeake Bay Experience" workshop.
