A new alcoholic beverage? No, in this case, the title of my blog posting is literal.
When I first spotted this Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) on Monday, I thought it was wading in the water. Looking more closely, I realized it was standing on the rocks, giving us a really good view of its dark, webbed feet.

Those are some big feet!
I was a bit surprised myself. I thought I had seen a cormorant’s feet before, but never noticed their size.
