Double-crested Cormorant — size comparison — facts and sources
The double-crested cormorant feeds in North American inland and coastal waters. Legs propel underwater pursuit, chiefly of fish but also crustaceans. It often rests with spread wings after diving.
Colonial adults bring food to nest-bound chicks. Feeding sites may be distant, requiring regular travel between water and colony.
