Double-crested Cormorant

Double-crested Cormorant -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline, Oakland, CA
Canon EOS Rebel T5i. EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II. 1/1600s, f/5.6, ISO: 1250

Truthfully, this is not a picture I'd have kept today.  However, I was kind of excited about it when I took it because it's an in-focus photo of a bird in flight, which was something that was difficult to achieve with my smaller cameras.  This was one of the first shots I took with the T5i--the 71st to be exact--and I was amazed to find how much easier it was to track a bird and fire off a burst of photos.  I haven't looked back since.
