Durwood:

The photo does have a slight purple tint to it. Doesn't show up quite so bad in the uncropped version but it is still there. I fussed with the white balance & adjusted the black clipping, but couldn't get the blacks right. Probably an artifact of the "Olympus Blue" that is so much ballyhooed over at DPR. <G>

I'm sure it is a cormorant, though. I did get a couple of nice Little Blue Herons, but none in flight.

P.S. - Thanks, Roger.
