Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus)

Feeding
The diet of the Double-crested Cormorant consists predominantly of a wide variety of fish. Other aquatic animals are eaten as well, including crabs, shrimp, crayfish, insects, frogs, and salamanders. The cormorant dives from the surface and chases fish underwater, propelled by its powerful webbed feet. The bird then grabs the fish with its bill, rather than spearing it; upon surfacing, it flips the fish into the air, then catches and swallows it head-first.

Reproduction
Double-crested Cormorants first breed at 3 years of age. They nest in colonies, sometimes with other wading birds. The birds make a bulky nest of sticks and other bulky items, including seaweed and flotsam, often lined with grass in a tree near water, on a cliff ledge, or on a beach. The species frequently nests on human-made structures, such as bridges, channel markers, rock jetties, and pile dikes. They frequently pick up debris, including rope, deflated balloons, and fish nets, to incorporate into the nest. Accumulated fecal matter below nests sometimes kills the nest trees. When this happens, the cormorants may move to a new area or they may simply shift to nesting on the ground. The cormorants usually lay 3 to 4 pale blue eggs. Cormorant hatchlings are naked and helpless. Both parents care for the chicks. Double-crested Cormorant adults shade the chicks and bring them water, pouring it into the chicks’ mouths from their own. In ground-nesting colonies, young cormorants leave their nests and congregate with other youngsters, called crèches, returning to their own nests only to be fed. The young birds begin to fly at about 5 weeks, and become independent at about 9 weeks of age.

Migration
Some populations on the Pacific coast and in Florida are permanent residents, but most are migratory. They migrate by day in flocks, often forming “V”-shaped formations as they follow rivers or coastlines, headed from the coldest parts of their breeding range toward ice-free areas.

Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus)

Natural Diet: When trees are in fruit, usually during the monsoon season, sloth bears dine on mango, fig, ebony, and other fruits, and also on some flowers. However, ants and termites, dug out of their cement-hard nest mounds, are a year-round staple. Also, sloth bears climb trees and knock down honeycombs, later collecting the sweet bounty on the forest floor. Beetles, grubs, ants, and other insects round out their diet. During food shortages, sloth bears will eat carrion. They sometimes raid farm crops.
