Very nice. What bayou was it taken at?

Thank you! This is Galveston Island State Park in Texas. I was on the north side of the island looking out over the sound and on to the mainland. It was nesting season for the herons but I think this is a cormorant.

Thanks for the reply! It looks so peaceful. We will definitely put it on the map of places to visit in our travels!

It was peaceful on this side of the island. On the other side (the Gulf of Mexico side) the waves were pounding the beach.

the curved tail makes me think it is a Comorant. Nice shot.

Thank you! I think you are right about the cormorant. I wish I had a closer look at him – I was all the way extended on the zoom lens for this image.
