Some more information about cormorants.
Appearance: Cormorants have long necks, hooked bills, and webbed feet. Their plumage is usually dark, and they often have a distinctive patch of bare skin on their face.
Habitat: They are found in a variety of aquatic environments, including coastal regions, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
Diet: Cormorants primarily feed on fish, which they catch by diving underwater. They are skilled swimmers and can stay submerged for extended periods.
Behavior: After diving, cormorants are often seen spreading their wings to dry, as their feathers are not completely waterproof.
Species: There are about 40 species of cormorants, with the Great Cormorant and the Double-crested Cormorant being among the most well-known.
