EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about multitasking! This Brandts cormorant proves that it's not just a bird of the sea, but also a master hunter in the concrete jungle. In this incredible shot captured by Alex Mustard, we witness the ultimate balancing act as our feathered friend dives beneath an oil rig in search of its next meal. Surrounded by a swirling school of Pacific chub mackerel, this cormorant shows off its impressive diving and swimming skills. With precision and grace, it navigates through the maze of industrial equipment while keeping an eye on its prey. It's like watching an avian acrobat performing daring stunts! The juxtaposition between nature and human intervention is striking in this photograph. Who would have thought that such beauty could be found amidst towering metal structures? The Eureka Rig off Los Angeles becomes an unlikely stage for this spectacle. As a finalist in the Birds Category of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards, Mustard perfectly captures both the natural behavior and adaptability of these remarkable creatures. It serves as a reminder that even in unexpected places, wildlife can thrive. So next time you find yourself near an oil rig or any other unconventional setting, keep your eyes peeled for extraordinary moments like these. You never know what wonders may unfold right before your lens!
