A Double-crested Cormorant was standing on a dock after a swim with its wings stretched out very wide. The Cormorant had previously gone for a swim and was drying off its wings. Around the Cormorants, there were a flock of Caspian Terns and Gulls.

Cormorants just do this pose all the time.

There are all photos of different birds on different days.

bird 1

[ID: A photo of a double-crested cormorant standing on a wooden pole against a pale blue sky, with its wings open while it looks in front of it. The lightning turns it mostly into a silhouette against the sky. End ID.]

bird 2

[ID: A photo of three double-crested cormorants perched on a green sign that reads, "thanks, resume". One is lying down, one is sitting upright, and the one in the middle is standing with its wings spread. The photo is slightly blurry from distance. The sky is light grey, and marsh grass stretches into the distant trees. End ID.]

bird 3

[ID: A photo of two double-crested cormorants sitting on the same green sign as above, on either fr end. One is standing with its wings closed, the other is standing with its wings open. The sky is a very pale grey-yellow from the sunset, and both birds are mostly silhouettes with some faint orange lights on the edges. End ID.]

bird 4

(They really like this sign)

A photo of two double-crested cormorants sitting on the same sign as before, close to one side. One is sitting with its wings folded, almost huddled. The other next to it is standing with its wings open, and its beak tilted slightly upward. The sky is light blue, and the color of the standing bird can be seen as dark grey or black, with some lighter colors on its face. End ID.]

they even do it while they're swimming sometimes! Which might be part of a flirting display? I don't know lol

[ID: A photo of a double-crested cormorant swimming in dark grey water that sparkles in the sunlight, with its back to the camera. It has its dark grey wings open above the water, and is turning its head to the right and slightly upward. End ID.]

[CM] Birds - Eyawoon

Onto the birds that ClayClan cats hunt! Eyawoon* are large birds that are difficult, but possible, to catch and kill. Most waterbirds fall into this category. Below are translations for several waterfowl, gulls, and a couple large land species.

The further I get into these posts, the less I have to say on specific species, sooo I’ll be adding some anecdotes from my real-world birding trips. Hopefully that’ll make the information more unique to read!

American wigeon (Mareca americana) - Rrawk Duck with gray-brown feathers; males have a green stripe on the head. Present year-round but most common in winter, spring, and fall. Feed on aquatic and non-aquatic plants.

Wood duck (Aix sponsa) - Yyr’ip Very distinctive species, males are elaborately marked. Present year-round but most abundant during warm months. Feed on plants and insects. Wood ducks are my favorite duck species!

Northern pintail (Anas acuta) - Brrip Females resemble most ducks, but males have a clean brown head and long, pointed tail. Present only in spring and fall, during migration. Feed on plants. Considered by many to be a seasonal challenge!

Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) - Kwek* Our one other bird with a name from base Clanmew! The classic duck, males have a pretty green head. Abundantly present year-round. Feed on plants and small aquatic wildlife, like insects, tadpoles, worms, etc.

Herring gull (Larus argentatus) - Awah A very familiar seagull with plain gray-and-white coloration, pink legs, and a clean yellow bill. Present year-round near the lake. Feed on a variety of fish, molluscs, insects, and more. Some superstitious cats refuse to eat or hunt gulls due to stories conflating them with Yiaow through the ocean, where they’re rumored to gather in vast flocks.

Ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis) - Ha’ah Very similar to herring gulls, distinguished by their yellow legs and striped bill. Present year-round near the lake, more common than herring gulls. Feed on insects, fish, rodents, and more. Ring-billed gulls have the same ocean association as herring gulls.

Spruce grouse (Falcipennis canadensis) - Shafoo Brown, chickenlike birds with mottled feathers. Present rarely in the forest during summer. Feed mostly on pine needles.

American coot (Fulica americana) - Rroonk Black duck-like waterbird with big gray feet. Present rarely in the winter. Feed on plants. Rroonk is among my favorite Claymew words - it always seems to give me echolalia.

Double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) - Rru Large black bird with a long, snakelike neck, often seen with its wings spread in the sun. Present year-round, but most abundant in spring, summer, and fall. Feed mostly on fish. Cormorants are a favorite bird of mine, I love seeing them sun themselves (I also think their calls sound like clacking wood).

Adult male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) - Gablgabl Adult female wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) - Kluk Wild turkey chick (Meleagris gallopavo) - Twee The truest eyawoon* of them all - adult turkeys are very difficult to hunt, given their huge size and communal nature, but when caught they make for a feast. If they weren’t edible, turkeys would be considered yassga* for their aggression in the fall. Present year-round. Feed on plants, insects, worms, and other small foraged things.

Green heron (Butorides virescens) - Ekchee Dark heron with bright yellow legs; its feathers are more colorful when seen up close. Present in late spring, summer, and fall. Feed mostly on small fish.

Double-Crest Cormorant (phalacrocorax auritus)

taken in the Santa Barbara Harbor in Santa Barbara, California

status: protected under US migratory bird act

A double-crest cormorant guiding the boat back into dock! More likely the bird was following maybe hoping the boat would disturb some fish into revealing their location for an easy meal.
