Double-crested Cormorants

Watch this video I got of a huge flock of Double-crested Cormorants. You don't usually see this many Cormorants together in one place. I'm not sure why they all gathered together here by The Celery Fields in Sarasota, Florida. You can tell these are Cormorants as opposed to Anhingas as the Cormorants have a hooked shaped bill. That is the easiest was to tell these two similar birds about, especially from a distance. The Cormorants can be found just about anywhere in North America at time time or another during the year. They do prefer habitats like oceans, lakes, swamps and rivers. They mostly eat fish. They dive under the water to catch the fish.

I am an award winning photographer and filmmaker. Many of my pictures have been used in TV Shows and Feature Films, such as "Zero Dark Thirty", "NCIS Los Angeles" and "The Walking Dead".
Many of my bird pictures and videos have been used by The National Audubon Society and Sarasota Audubon and used on several TV shows, like "Animal Outtakes" on ABC. Enjoy!
