I was watching cormorants swimming. A woman told her son that the birds l was watching were beavers. Next day and every day afterwards, she was still calling every bird, including ducks and herons, beavers. And she was being serious. Showing her that these were birds didn't help. Telling the names of each species didn't help. She still teaches kids and points at the birds in the water and tells them they're beavers.

There's not enough good words that could be said for this video! Amazing! Wonderful! Beautiful! Unique! Educational! Quality! You just really did a bang up job! I've wanted to see underwater footage of diving birds, such as the Cormorant and the Anhinga!! Both were high on my list of what I wanted to see underwater. Thank you for sharing this great video!

This bird is like the Hesperonis

I didn’t realize how good and fast swift swimmers they were wow! I work near the east river in New York and I watch them hunt all the time but always wondered how they moved underwater

I'd never seen a cormorant in my life and saw one for the first time from my son's balcony that overlooked a canal in Scince Park, Amsterdam. It dived and swam a long way, and I was so impressed. Now I love these birds.

Just the video i was looking for. Breath-taking footage.

Fantastic video thank you I always wondered what they looked like underwater I see them all the time outside mine

This creature is a dream,,live soo free can swim and fly,,

I love these guys. We dont have them around the Northern Suwannee River but a little south or west ,Wakulla Springs or many other spring fed rivers, and you can watch them like this while snorkeling 😊 they are amazing

This (Shag) is in the Cormorant family of birds, a distinct species in its own right, as opposed to a subspecies of Cormorant as listed.

thats impressive, such a great diver

Thank you for that awesome video

woww beau montage Félicitation

I live on a lake in Missouri and a huge flock of these things showed up and are sticking around lately. I wondered what they were! Interesting

I’ve always wondered how they caught their food. Great video.

I saw a great white egret on land at the lake’s edge, preparing to swallow a large fish it had just caught. A cormorant shot out of the water like a torpedo, trying to steal the fish. But the attempt failed.
