The Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin and a jewel-like eye. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America-perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.
