Taken through the lens of my very basic binoculars with my mediocre phone camera.

Beautiful colors. That's a fantastic view.

I originally read that as "A double-crossed cormorant...". I was very intrigued. Who or what betrayed this bird and why? Do cormorants, like primates, understand the concept of being betrayed? I needed to know more.

Then, I reread the title, understood, and enjoyed the great photo.
