Information about the Double-Crested Cormorant:

The Double-Crested Cormorant is a seabird of the order Pelecaniformes. They can be found along inland waterways, rivers, lakes and coastlines. They are widely distributed throughout North America. Like all cormorants these birds hunt for fish - usually alone but at time with others - submerging and hunting with jerky movements chasing fish, which make up the majority of the cormorants prey. These birds were once threatened by the use of DDT, but are making a comeback now that the chemical was banned.
