Double-crested Cormorant Range Map
The Double-breasted Cormorant breeds in the southeastern Bering Sea, southern Alaska, and from southwestern British Columbia and northern Alberta to Newfoundland south along Atlantic and Pacific Coasts; very locally throughout interior of North America. It winters along the Pacific Coast from the Aleutian Islands and southern Alaska south to Baja California and Guerrero; on the Atlantic Coast from New England south; in the Mississippi and Rio Grande Valleys; and along the Gulf Coast south to Central America. The Double-breasted Cormorant inhabits coastal areas, bays, estuaries, marine islands, freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers, sloughs, and swamps. It is the only cormorant likely to be seen inland around freshwater lakes and rivers. It has a pronounced preference for perching in trees, on rocks, buoys, or other objects that overhang or project from the water.
