Well captured moment. I'm not a pilot, but it would not have done the bird
any good ;-)

> Happy Jan 1st Luggers!
> My family likes to take the float plane between Vancouver and Pender
> Island - it saves about 3 hours in travel time and is a spectacular 20
> minute flight when the weather is good.
> Esther and son Russell came back on the plane just before Christmas and I
> went to Port Washington to meet them.
> As the plane was landing a cormorant rose from the water to meet it and
> for a breath holding moment it looked like the bird might strike the
> plane's propellor.
