Cormorants are medium-to-large, fairly long-necked seabirds, similar to the pelican and gannet. The Double-crested Cormorant is the most numerous and widespread North American cormorant. It's also the only one that occurs in large numbers inland as well as on the coast. They are excellent swimmers and float low in the water, with only their head and neck showing. These birds can dive as deep as 100 feet and the longest recorded dive has been of 71 seconds. ~ whatbird.com
