Here is another image showing the surface water erupting below a double-crested cormorant on taking off. Some birds can take off straight up into the air while others have to get a running start to become airborne. Cormorants are in this latter group. Some run a long ways before they can get into the air. Cormorants have huge, (and what appear to be floppy) feet, so they can really splash some water as they take off.
