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.
Bounty Islands Shag
60–65 cm. Black and white pied shag; orange facial caruncles; pink feet. Endemic to Bounty Islands, New Zealand subantarctic. Vulnerable; total population fewer than 600 birds on remote barren islets. Feeds on fish in cold surrounding waters; does not disperse far from breeding islands.
