Hi, Peaches. Thanks for the complimentary words! I've seen the lake look just like this, near sundown---it just didn't look like this when I took this particular photo. ;-) #4671020Amalia Sylvia Arriaga Salinas September 21, 2007

Hi Marsha....thanks for stopping by and leaving me a nice comment! #4845954Joni Earley October 16, 2008
I am SO glad to see this pic and to finally know for sure these birds are cormorants! I have a couple shots in my gallery of one of these guys at the lake at Tomlinson Park in Arvada. I thought that's what he was, but it seemed weird they were in Colorado! Then I discovered a whole flock of them along Clear Creek a couple weeks ago.Cary Rogers October 16, 2008
Thank you, Joni! Yes, we have double-crested cormorants in the area, from early spring until late fall---depending on the weather. This photo was taken at the very East end of the lake at Crown Hill.
