Utah Wildlife Print | Salt Lake City Double-crested Cormorant, Drying Out
About the Artwork
The Story: An extraordinary horizontal portrait captures a Double-crested Cormorant turning its head to the left, revealing a striking steel-blue eye and a vibrant yellow gular pouch near its sharp, curved bill. This unusual urban visitor settled beside a backyard city pond to dry its feathers, exposing the top sections of its wings and back which glimmer with an iridescent silver hue outlined in rich black. The unexpected moment beautifully illustrates how wild, migratory creatures adaptively utilize urban waterways and green spaces for rest and recovery. Bring this rare, vivid glimpse of urban wilderness into your home gallery by exploring the online [Shop Birds of a Feather].
