With jet-black feathers, fabulous feathery tufts, and emerald eyes against an orange face, the Double-crested Cormorant makes a memorable appearance. By day, it can be found near water diving for fish. However, since its wings are not waterproof, it must spend time drying them out. It will spread its wings wide and stay still as it dries. Large flocks in flight are distinct by the cormorants hold their long necks slightly cocked. Along the Atlantic shoreline, flocks of cormorants can be seen in flight winging their way over the waves.

Original is available! The original painting is 14x11 and is framed in an upcycled redwood frame to bring out the green eyes of the cormorant.
