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.
Black-faced Cormorant
61 cm. Dark sooty-black throughout; bare black facial skin. Endemic to southern Australian coasts from the Great Australian Bight to Victoria and Tasmania. Feeds on fish in coastal and estuarine habitats. Colonial nester on rocky coastal islands; often associated with seagrass beds.
