The Double-crested Cormorant is a North American member of the cormorant family of seabirds. Like all cormorants, it dives to find its prey, mainly fish, but also amphibians and crustaceans.

After diving, these birds spend long periods standing with wings outstretched to allow them to dry, since they are not fully waterproofed.
