Double-crested Cormorant
Nannopterum auritum
Our most common cormorant. Seen on or beside water (open ocean or lakes). Floats partially submerged, regularly diving for fish. Often seen standing on rocks, piers, etc., with its wings spread and drying. Larger than Pelagic Cormorants and has an orange face/beak to differentiate from Brandt’s Cormorants.
