Captured at Asylum Lake Preserve in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this photo features a Double-crested Cormorant perched on a weathered piece of wood rising above the water’s surface. The bird’s dark silhouette and upright posture create a striking presence against the calm reflections of the lake.
Known for their quiet patience and skilled diving, cormorants are often overlooked — but here, the bird becomes a focal point of balance and stillness. With wings tucked and eyes alert, it surveys its surroundings from a solitary perch, embodying the calm rhythm of Michigan’s inland waters.
