Double-crested cormorant

Double-crested cormorants are common in Ocala and frequently in the company of Anhingas, which share a similar shape and size. Remember “C for curved bill” to distinguish cormorants from Anhingas. These birds dive as deep as 30 feet to search for fish to eat. This one was photographed at Silver Springs.
