What is a double-crested cormorant?
The double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is a slender black water bird that can be found in both fresh and salt water habitats. These habitats range from the North American coastal waters to the inland lakes and rivers of Middle America. The Bahamas and Mexico are also home to this cormorant species. During winter months, these cormorants will migrate to warmer temperatures and they can often be seen flying together in a v-shaped formation.
