Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus)

Double-crested Cormorant
(Phalacrocorax auritus)
This little study shows the foot of the Double-crested Cormorant. All four
toes are joined by webbing, a condition called “totiplamate”, a situation
found also in tropicbirds, pelicans, boobies and gannets, and anhingas and
darters. While it looks awkward, some birds with totipalmate feet, including
this species, can perch on thin branches and wires.
This vignette is done in indelible felt pen, gouache watercolour and
coloured pencil on paper. The species is widely distributed in North America
and parts of the West Indies. The full bird is an adult, after the breeding
season, when they lose the ear tufts that give the species its name.
Please read Why People Kill Cormorants.
