Publisher's Synopsis
Wildlife artists face a problem in depicting fleeting moments such as facial expressions, postures and flight. Having one reference photo is usually insufficient. This book is designed to overcome these problems and get every feather "just right". Double-crested Cormorants are enjoyed by many people because of their need to frequently suspend activity and dry their feathers makes them easy to spot. The birds are shown perching, swimming, flying, drying and in a series showing close-up photos of their heads. Non- artists will enjoy the photography and descriptive material.
