Rob Crank’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying.

Here's a double-crested cormorant off the coast of Rhode Island, surfacing after a dive.

A double-crested cormorant, a bird with black wings, blue eyes, and a yellow and white beak, floats on the surface of the ocean, which forms the backdrop. The bird is shown in a right rear quartering view, with its wings raised and its head held upright.

Color image of a dark bird against a light backdrop. The double-crested cormorant hovers slightly above a thick branch as he maneuvers his landing. The bird shakes off water—the many drops reflect back the sun’s light and foreshadow his drying off open-winged pose. The cormorants outstretched feet, different from most because of his four webbed toes instead of the water birds three, sets down with comical ease.
