Pictured is a double-crested cormorant perched on a partially submerged tree in Chokoloskee Bay in Florida. The binomial name is Nannopterum auritum. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving. Its feathers are not waterproof, and it must dry them out after spending time in the water. Chokoloskee Bay is roughly ten miles long and two miles wide. It is located along Florida’s Gulf Coast and is separated from the Gulf of Mexico by the Ten Thousand Islands.
