About These Birds
Kormoran
Der Kormoran ist einer der am weitesten verbreiteten Seevögel der Welt. Anders als die meisten Wasservögel besitzt der Kormoran kein vollständig wasserabweisendes Gefieder, was zu seiner typischen Haltung mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln zum Trocknen führt. In Asien setzen Fischer Kormorane seit über tausend Jahren zum Fischfang ein.
Pitt Island Shag
63 cm. Dark grey-brown; orange facial skin. Endemic to Pitt Island in the Chatham Islands group, New Zealand. Critically Endangered; fewer than 300 birds known. Feeds on inshore fish in cold coastal waters. Very restricted range on a single isolated island group.
