One of the most uniquely adapted birds in the Southeastern US, the double crested cormorant has found a way to exploit a niche using abilities that almost no other avian species has come close to matching!

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.
Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

What I loved the most was getting a fantastic up-close look at the small hook on the end of the cormorant's bill. They sure are built for fishing.

Cormorants are such cool birds, and you did a great job explaining why! I love watching them hunt, it is truly one of the most unique hunting styles of any bird I know. Fantastic shots and editing as always, great work! - Harrison and Evan

This title! I love it!!! Such a common bird species up here in New England to see in wetland ecosystems and near the ocean but always one of my absolute favorites to see! Such a unique predatory strategy and just absolutely beautiful birds! Awesome video as always Ben and once again the wealth of information that you have is something I always love tapping into and learning from!

Thanks for the support Satchel! Yeah they are so much fun to watch, especially when they catch and swallow prey.

That’s so cool! Cormorants are pretty unique birds. I didn’t know they produced pellets!
@TheWildReportOfficial

Thanks Chris! Yeah they are pretty incredible, I also didn't know about the pellets until I started researching them for this video!

First time I seen one of these birds I thought that they were snakes. It wasn't until I walked upon one and surprised the bird to see what they really are. Unlike a duck which floats on top of the water, the cormorant floats in the water below the surface.

Yeah it's crazy how perfectly adapted they are for a semi-aquatic lifestyle!

Huh, I don't think I've ever seen one before, though maybe I have from a distance and thought it was a duck.

They do look like ducks from a distance, but once you get up close you can see the differences.
