It is interesting how often one will see American White Pelicans and Double-crested Cormorants together, either in the water or perched together on logs, or in other locations. I saw these companions at Kirk Pond.
A 'Cool Fact' about pelicans and cormorants is found in the "All About Birds" website:
"American White Pelicans and Double-crested Cormorants are often found together. They sometimes forage together (though they mainly hunt different fish and at different depths). Cormorants even nest individually or in groups within pelican colonies."
