A double-crested cormorant on the Charles River in Watertown, Massachusetts. This is not a B&W photo. I had initially converted it to B&W but decided that I liked the more brownish tones and the red eye of the original.

Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown and Cambridge Massachusetts was dedicated in 1831. It is the oldest and one of the most beautiful garden or rural cemeteries in the United States. It is popular with walkers and bird watchers.

"The Sphinx, sculpted by Martin Milmore and gifted to the Cemetery by Dr. Jacob Bigelow, was built as a Civil War Memorial in 1872.

Jacob Bigelow, founder and second president of the Cemetery, commissioned the Sphinx as a memorial for the Union dead, celebrating the end of slavery following the Civil War. The image was chosen because of its “personification of intellect and physical force,” and its pairing of beauty and strength, considered the perfect emblem of a new America."

Double-crested Cormorants (Explored)

nobody@ipernity.com (Esther) — Wed, 15 May 2019 01:23:42 +0000

Esther has posted:

"Double-crested Cormorants are colonial waterbirds that seek aquatic bodies big enough to support their mostly fish diet. However, they may roost and form breeding colonies on smaller lagoons or ponds, and then fly up to 40 miles to a feeding area. In addition to fishing waters, cormorants need perching areas for the considerable amount of time they spend resting each day. After fishing, cormorants retire to high, airy perches to dry off and digest their meals—rocks, wires, tops of dead trees, ship masts. They tend to form breeding colonies in clusters of trees in or near water. After a while, masses of cormorant guano may kill these trees and the trees may topple, at which point the cormorants may switch to nesting on the ground."
