    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.

    We have lots of Double-crested Cormorant here in Florida especially winter months. Cool birds. Thanks for this informative video. Nicely done 👍

    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!

    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.

    The double crested cormorant reminds of the spinosaurus for some reason

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

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

    Great video! I always think these birds eyes are super cool to look at. They are such an amazing & highly specialized species. Great presentation as always, keep up the fantastic work!

    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!

    A bunch moved into a local reservoir near me. They're neat to watch.

    They are incredibly,
    They fly, they swim fast, they hunt underwater,
    They can hunt in freshwater and also saltwater, an incredibly animal

      There are many birds species that do so. Not just the cormorant.

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

    • @TheWildReportOfficial
      @TheWildReportOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว

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

    I’m pretty sure this what I see in the small pond in my neighborhood.. I knew it wasn’t a duck or loon.
