Great Cormorant

Species principle: Deep Work

Dive, then dry.

The task becomes clear when the tools fit the depth.

Great Cormorants dive underwater to pursue fish with strong swimming feet, streamlined bodies, hooked bills, and wing-drying behavior after repeated dives.

Horned Grebe

Species principle: Diving Fit

Fit the dive.

Effort flows when the body is placed exactly for the work.

Horned Grebes are diving birds with compact bodies and legs set far back, an arrangement that helps underwater propulsion while making land movement awkward.
