This picture deeply amuses me on many levels. The cormorant is looking particularly American eagle-ish in the foreground. The napping duck in the background is cozying up to the fake owl, which is failing miserably in its purpose (namely: scaring the local wildlife away). Then there's the random fake alligator head, which is doing about as well as the fake owl in scaring away the birds. Photo taken while kayaking the Charles River on Sunday, July 27, 2008.
