Phalacrocorax auritus

Double crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) The Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds. It occurs along inland waterways as well as in coastal areas, and is widely distributed across North America, from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska down to Florida and Mexico. Measuring 70â€“90 cm (28â€“35 in) in length, it is an all-black bird which gains a small double crest of black and white feathers in breeding season. It has a bare patch of orange-yellow facial skin. Five subspecies are recognized.

The Double-crested Cormorant is found near rivers, lakes and along the coastline. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving. Its feathers, like those of all cormorants, are not waterproof and it must spend time drying them out after spending time in the water. Once threatened by use of DDT, the numbers of this bird have increased markedly in recent years.

Atlantic from the mouth of the Douro River

The River Douro runs through Portugal into the Atlantic Ocean and this is it's arrival point. The river Douro is the third-longest river in the Iberian Peninsula after the Tagus and Ebro. Its total length is 897 kilometres (557 mi), of which only sections of the Portuguese extension below the fall line are navigable, by light rivercraft. In its Spanish section, the Douro crosses the great Castilian meseta and meanders through five provinces of the autonomous community of Castile and LeÃ³n: Soria, Burgos, Valladolid, Zamora, and Salamanca, passing through the towns of Soria, AlmazÃ¡n, Aranda de Duero, Tordesillas, and Zamora. In this region, there are few tributaries of the Douro. The most important are the Pisuerga, passing through Valladolid, and the Esla, which passes through Zamora. This region is generally semi-arid plains, with wheat and in some places, especially near Aranda de Duero, with vineyards, in the Ribera del Duero wine region. Sheep rearing is also still important. For 112 kilometres (70 mi), the river forms part of the national border line between Spain and Portugal, in a region of narrow canyons. It formed a historical barrier to invasions, creating a cultural/linguistic divide. In these isolated areas, in which the AldeadÃ¡vila Dam impounds the river, there are protected areas: the International Douro Natural Park (on the Portuguese side) and the Arribes del Duero Natural Park (on the Zamoran margin). The Douro fully enters Portuguese territory just after the confluence with the Ãgueda River; once the Douro enters Portugal, major population centres are less frequent along the river. Except for Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia at the river mouth, the only population centres of any note are Foz do Tua, PinhÃ£o and Peso da RÃ©gua. Tributaries here are small, merging into the Douro along the canyons; the most important are CÃ´a, Tua, Sabor, Corgo, Tavora, Paiva, TÃ¢mega, and Sousa. None of these small, fast-flowing rivers is navigable. Porto Portugal Spring 2015. The River Douro runs through Portugal into the Atlantic Ocean and this is it's arrival point.

Pair of young Barrel cacti near Black Mountain, Henderson, Nevada

This young Barrel cactus growing in a pair is found near Black Mountain, Henderson, Nevada and and is also found in other desert areas near by such as Red Rock Canyon. They are desert dwellers and can cope with some frost and intense heat. The typical habitat is hot and very arid, and the plants have adapted to exploit water movement to concentrate their biomass in areas where water is likely to be present. The rocks surrounding the cactus are mainly basalt originating from volcanic activity in the area over 12 million years ago. The cactus belongs to the Ferocactus genus,.

Wetland Mangroves

A swamp is a wetland featuring temporary or permanent inundation of large areas of land, by shallow bodies of water.

Mangrove is a forest at the edge of the sea, where the tides bring in salt water from the sea twice a day. Mangrove forest plays an important part in ecosystem to support the living of the birds, crab, shells, fishes and many animals. It is fun to go there often because you would see different animals every time. . A swamp is a wetland featuring temporary or permanent inundation of large areas of land, by shallow bodies of water.

Alaska - Brown Grizzly Bear Dripping Wet Water

A healthy, curious female coastal brown bear is all wet and dripping water after diving in the water in an unsuccessful attempt to catch pre spawn Sockeye salmon where the waters of Wolverine Creek empty into Big River Lake, on the west side of the Cook Inlet near Lake Clark National Park. These bears spend weeks grazing on the fresh grasses in late spring and early summer, before the coastal salmon runs start. These coastal dwelling bears are very similar to grizzly bears, which live 100 or more miles inland, but they get much bigger due to plenty of food sources such as grasses and salmon. Lake Clark National Park is one of the largest areas in the world where Brown Grizzly bears are protected from hunting. While Wolverine Creek is located outside the park, there are many bears in the area which concentrate around Wolverine Creek when the salmon start to spawn. This popular summer tourism destination allows the few visitors lucky enough to take excursions from Kenai and Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula to visit Wolverine Creek to see not just one but many of these magnificent creatures, one of the largest land predators in the world, often while fishing for salmon themselves.
