I spent quite a while with these double-crested cormorants. (Thank you to my birdipedia nephew Bradley for the identification.) Most of them waited patiently along the edge of the dock. But the one on the right would have nothing of it. He was not part of the line-up, stayed to himself, and most of the time looked in the opposite direction of the others. Yet, even he, could not help but peek when one of his buddies broke rank and jumped into the water.

The cormorants clearly exhibit diversity. It is an important part of our lives as well. Which cormorant do you most resemble?
