Little pied cormorant (Microcarbo melanoleucos) dries it's wings. Cormorant feathers, unlike, say, duck feathers, are actually water-absorbing, allowing them to sink and swim deep without trapping unwanted air bubbles that cause buoyancy. However, once they finish fishing, their soaking wet feathers make flying hard and increase their risk of getting cold.
