A large seabird, the double-breasted cormorant, surveys the waters of the marina from the end of a pier at Langley Air Force Base, Va., Dec. 17, 2011. Members of the base community conducted the fall portion of the semi-bird count, now in its 26th year, Saturday. The presence of high winds resulted in fewer birds being sighted than in previous years. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt. Anna Hayman/Released)
