Double-crested Cormorant
Phalacrocorax auritus
New York’s only
Cormorant, the Double-crested Cormorant, is found along the Hudson River, Great lakes, and in the Oneida Lake area in Central
New York.
Cormorants hunt and eat
fish, diving and maneuvering underwater using their webbed feet. They often congregate in colonies, and frequently seek out
manmade structures as perching areas.
