Original – Double-crested cormorant juvenile drying its wet feathers
Reason
Quality lead image, represents the subject well. We do have a 2005 FP here but it doesn't have a good angle or high resolution. I will do a delist nom once this nom passes.

  • Kaldari, it shouldn't affect the nom, being in an infobox is not a requirement. It just implies editors think it represents the subject well (it just implies, it doesn't prove). The image has EV as a juvenile, improves the article as such, and meets the technical requirements, therefore it meets the FP criteria, regardless of whether it's in the infobox or not. Personally I am Ok with it in the infobox because, it's the best image, it is identified by a caption therefore no misrepresentation, and it has been stable. However, if you or anyone wants to move it, they could (my edit summary in the article says so as well). Bammesk (talk) 01:43, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
