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.
Crozet Shag
63 cm. Black above; white below; orange-yellow caruncles; blue eye-ring. Endemic to Crozet Islands, southern Indian Ocean. Vulnerable with small total population. Feeds on fish and invertebrates in cold Crozet Island waters. Colonial nester on coastal cliffs.
