Description
The double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is large waterbird, with a long neck, medium-sized tail, webbed feet, and a medium-sized hooked bill; has dark-colored plumage, yellow or orange gular skin (throat skin). The bill of the adult is dark-colored.
Its habitat is near rivers and lakes as well as in coastal areas.
This is Florida cormorant.
The double-crested dives to find its prey. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving.
The double-crested cormorant swims low in the water, often with just its neck and head visible, and dives from the surface. After diving, it spends long periods standing with its wings outstretched to allow them to dry.
