Spring has sprung, and Love is in the air...
These double-crested cormorants (Cormoran à aigrettes en français) appeared to be enjoying themselves shamelessly.

Taken minutes before sunset with Nikon D850, Sigma 150-600 C at 600mm, f/6.3, 1/500s, iso 3200 and processed in #darktable.

In a treetop bare of leaves, several pairs of double-crested cormorants sit in nests made of small sticks. The birds are mostly black, with long, goose-like necks, an orange face and chin, and long, narrow, hooked beaks. They have what appear to be long black eyelashes on either side of their heads, above and behind their eyes. Near the center of the frame, a couple sits mid-coitus, their necks stretched out and beaks open.

“It’s time to fundamentally change how we think about species conservation,” Burgum wrote on social media. “Going forward, we must celebrate removals from the endangered list — not additions.”

The Washington Post · Trump team cites wolf ‘de-extinction’ as reason to cut endangered species listBy Dino Grandoni

Ridiculous rationalization:

#Trump’s #interior sec cited a #biotech company’s claim to have brought back the dire wolf to slash 50 years of #EndangeredSpecies protections.

Many scientists expressed skepticism that the pups could be classified as part of a canine species that went #extinct over 10k years ago. But Interior Secy #DougBurgum said the achievement demonstrates that it is not government #regulations but innovation that will save species.
