It is a Double-crested cormorant.

Scientific name: Nannopterum auritum.

A large, dark waterbird with an elongated body, a long neck held in a gentle S-curve, and a slender grayish bill with a hooked tip. Adults are predominantly black to charcoal brown, with subtle bronze tones and a scaly appearance on the folded wing feathers. Bare yellow-orange skin marks the throat and base of the bill. The eyes are blue-green, and the short, dark legs end in fully webbed feet. A stiff, moderately long tail projects below the folded wings. Breeding adults may develop two small, wispy head crests, which are absent or inconspicuous outside the breeding season. The pictured bird is perched upright with its wings folded..

Double-crested cormorants pursue fish underwater using their webbed feet for propulsion. Their plumage retains some water, reducing buoyancy and helping them dive; they often perch with their wings spread after fishing..

The dark plumage, long curved neck, hooked bill, stiff tail, and upright posture beside open water identify this as a cormorant. The conspicuous orange throat patch, relatively robust neck, and apparent bill proportions favor a double-crested cormorant. A neotropic cormorant can look similar but generally has a proportionally longer tail and a more sharply defined, white-bordered throat patch. The image is somewhat soft, and no location is provided, so the species identification is not completely certain.

It is a Paper wasp.

Scientific name: Polistes sp..

A slender social wasp with a narrow, constricted waist and long, dangling yellow legs. The body is glossy black with bold yellow markings on the face and thorax. The head is rounded-triangular from the front, with large dark compound eyes and a yellow facial mask divided by a darker central stripe. The thorax is compact and black with yellow patches near the shoulders. The wings are translucent amber-brown and folded lengthwise over the back when at rest. The abdomen is elongated and tapering, yellow to ochre with several darker transverse bands, giving it a striped appearance. Overall form is delicate and elongated compared with stockier yellowjackets..

Paper wasps make their nests by chewing weathered wood fibers into a papery pulp, creating open combs rather than enclosed nests like many yellowjackets..

The insect has the classic paper-wasp body plan: a very narrow waist, long legs that hang below the body, amber folded wings, and a black-and-yellow warning pattern. It is less compact than a yellowjacket and does not show the extremely threadlike waist typical of many mud daubers. The visible facial markings, long legs, and banded abdomen fit the genus Polistes well. The image is somewhat blurred and does not show enough detail of the antennae, wing venation, or abdominal pattern to identify the species with confidence, so genus-level identification is safest.
