The first photo is a juvenile Cormorant. Adults are brown-black with a small patch of yellow-orange skin on the face. In the breeding season, adults develop a small double crest of black or white feathers.

The double-crested cormorant doesn't have well-developed oil glands and isn't waterproofed very well. It often dries its feathers by perching on a pole or tree limb and stretching its wings out, as shown in the second photo.
