Study of Cormorants
I have decided that the cormorant that is going to be illustrated in the Kelp Forests of Alaska is the Red Faced Cormorant after doing my research (all articles I have red appear as links on blog posts)
I have been collecting images as reference as well and studying their anatomy through the resource of anatomical illustrations. Really interesting stuff.

Some images for reference
Diving reference images. Not the same species of cormorant but still a cormorant, helps understand their movements underwater.
