126 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 126 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on February 8, 2015

I don't normally get this close to a Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus). I found it while crossing the bridge over Chambers Creek. My instincts say that the bridge provided me with a bit of a blind, and the Cormorant didn't see me coming. I checked traffic and did something I don't usually do, I took a picture from the narrow bridge.
