The birds weren't acting any differently this morning, or at least to my eyes, despite the fact that by that time tomorrow we're supposed to be in the midst of a category one hurricane. These two cormorants were poised on a dock at the sailing school, where I have seen them all week. The school is now closed for the season, so they have the place to themselves. One of them had its beak open the whole time I was watching them. I wondered if it wasn't panting in the heat and humidity like a dog would. Certainly its dark feathers absorb the heat. Notice that the bird on the left seems to be using its tail as a prop.
