I don't know if cormorants actually have blue eyes. I was too lazy on this perfect spring morning to research eye color in water birds, but I was very intrigued to find the photo below while I was processing my Florida bird photos. Perhaps his eyes are reflecting the water below?
Click on the photo for the Frank Sinatra view. (In American culture the phrase 'Old Blue Eyes,' referred to a very popular singer of the 1950's, Frank Sinatra.)
nice snaps...he even struck a marvelous pose for you!
ReplyDeleteThose are startlingly blue eyes, Tabor.
ReplyDeleteAnd the profile (if you use a great deal of imagination) looks just a little like Sinatra (before his implants).
They are so beautiful to watch in those marshes.
ReplyDeleteHappy Earth Day!!!
ReplyDeleteWow..those ARE blue. I've never had that close of a shot at one before. They're cool birds. Especially when drying those wings.
ReplyDeleteI love cormorants. I also love Sinatra, so yay, all happy things! :D
ReplyDeleteWow. Beautiful. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteYes I would have to say those eyes are blue.
ReplyDeleteIt was considerate of you to explain who Ole Blue Eyes is. Sometimes I assume everyone will know and then I watch Jay Walking on the Tonight show and realize young people don't know who Frank Sinatra was.
I wonder: they are the anhingas of the saltwater world. It's always fun to watch them dive (and Sinatra sing of course too!)
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable eyes indeed...great photo!
ReplyDeleteAmazing blue eyes! I wonder if he can sing ;)
