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.
Little Black Cormorant
55–65 cm. All-black; glossy green-blue; bare black facial skin. Widespread across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia in freshwater and marine environments. Highly gregarious; nests colonially in trees. Feeds on fish by pursuit-diving; often seen drying wings on posts.
