**???? Title:** Wings Open Wide: Cormorant on the Drying Deck

**???? Description:**
A cormorant stands confidently atop a bright yellow surface—likely the edge of a boat—its wings stretched to full span in a ritualistic drying pose. The bird’s dark, mottled plumage glistens slightly with moisture, while its orange facial skin and piercing blue-green eye contrast with the somber tones of the water behind. Caught in a moment of purposeful stillness, this image highlights both the practicality and elegance of aquatic avian behavior, merging functionality with quiet spectacle.

Would you like to shape this moment into a teaching piece about post-diving behavior or contrast it with another wetland bird for thematic comparison? I’m all in.
