- Double-Crested Cormorant
At Stonington Point, where the Connecticut coastline meets Long Island Sound, a Double-Crested Cormorant cuts across the water's glassy surface in purposeful flight. The bird's dark silhouette and extended neck are unmistakable—built for diving and pursuit underwater, yet equally at home in the air. The calm blue water reflects the clarity of the moment, a cormorant between hunts, moving with the efficiency of a bird that knows these waters well. This is the working rhythm of the sound's resident hunters, their presence a constant reminder of the rich marine life that sustains the shoreline.
