Double-crested Cormorant Isolate on white Background.

The Double-crested Cormorant is a large waterbird found throughout North America. They have dark feathers, a long neck, and a hooked bill. They are excellent swimmers and divers, using their webbed feet to propel themselves underwater in search of fish. They are also known for their ability to dry their wings by spreading them out in the sun. Double-crested Cormorants are social birds, often seen in large flocks. They nest in colonies on trees or rocky cliffs near water. While they are not considered endangered, their populations have been impacted by habitat loss and hunting in the past.
