Pictured is a double-crested cormorant, binomial name Nannopterum auritum, standing on a log at the edge of Chokoloskee Bay in Florida. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving. Its feathers, like all cormorants, are not waterproof, and it must dry them out after spending time in the water. Chokoloskee Bay is roughly 10 miles long and 2 miles wide and is located along Florida's Gulf Coast, separated from the Gulf of Mexico by the Ten Thousand Islands.
