With my camera and long lens I am always looking for wildlife that frequents Hamilton Lake outside Wellsboro. When I saw the cormorants on this day, I knew the shot I wanted. Any angler can tell you that cormorants can fish the best trout from a lake. When a cormorant dives, you never know where it will resurface, so it’s challenging. They seemingly swim a distance underwater before they resurface. But sometimes, when they return to the surface, they have speared a fish, and that’s the moment I wanted to capture. It’s only a second or two before the bird flips the fish up and pushes it down the hatch, so to speak. I captured the whole sequence, but I liked this frame the best.
