I had an important question for you below; perhaps you missed it:

Do you ever remove even a small distracting element from your images, even a tiny one?

As far as the birds actually eating the flies, I do not know. But it is obvious by looking at the second image, that they do snap at the flies that are irritating them so the image with the fly added is arguably possible.

In any case, you are missing the fact that I wanted to make folks smile while being upfront and honest about the image.

Please do answer my question above. artie

As far as I know cormorants eat fish. What I am trying to say was that the fly was just there, maybe irritating the bird. In this case the picture would give the viewer the wrong impression, that the bird was interested in the fly as food.
