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.

Campbell Island Shag

63 cm. Black and white pied shag; orange facial caruncles. Endemic to Campbell Island, New Zealand subantarctic. Vulnerable with total population of only a few hundred. Feeds on fish and invertebrates; nests on coastal cliff ledges in small colonies.
