Male Brandt's Cormorant Skypointing, Courtship Display, Breeding Plumage with blue throat and white pin-feathers, La Jolla. Skypointing is an interesting courtship behavior that many birds practice. Among Brandt's Cormorants the male performs this, likely as a way of attracting a mate to the nest he has built by showing off his striking blue throat.

Seen here on seacliffs above the ocean, where the fading light of late afternoon just illuminates his head and wings, Phalacrocorax penicillatus
