Double-crested Cormorant

Species principle: Reset

Dry the wings.

Deep work asks for a ritual of return.

Double-crested Cormorants dive underwater to catch fish using strong feet and hooked bills. After diving, they often perch with wings spread, a posture associated with drying and recovery.

Grey Seal

Species principle: Reserve

Rest on the rock.

Strength does not always show itself until it leaves the water.

Grey Seals swim and dive in cold seas to hunt fish and other prey, then haul out on rocky shores or beaches to rest, breed, molt, and recover.
