They often hold their wings out for drying or temperature regulation. |

| It was a rainy day in November when we took these pictures from the remote camera 5. The yellow face is good evidence of these being Double-Crested. |
On the other hand there was another species mixed here. The blueish throat suggests they are Brandts cormorants. |
|
|
| Double Crested Cormorants are winter residents at Race Rocks. They nest on other islands off Victoria. |
