## Caption

The Double-crested cormorant is a sleek aquatic hunter with a few surprising traits!

Unlike many waterbirds, their feathers aren’t waterproof, so you’ll often spot them perched with wings stretched wide as they dry off after a dive. During breeding season, they level up their look with striking turquoise eyes, the inside of their mouths turn bright blue, and bold head crests. These unique adaptations make cormorants both fascinating to watch and essential members of their coastal ecosystems.
