Some gorgeous double-breasted cormorants by Canada Place in Vancouver Harbour. Fun fact, even though they dive underwater to hunt, their feathers aren't waterproof. They spend a lot of time stretching out their wings to dry themselves on land after hunting. #birds #photography

Interesting thread on Epstein Evidence...
The FBI and the DOJ are redacting the Jeffrey Epstein evidence, primarily to protect victim privacy and avoid compromising ongoing investigations. However, the law PROHIBITS redactions solely to prevent embarrassment or reputational harm to public figures.
