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.
Red-legged Cormorant
71–76 cm. Slender; grey body; red legs; spotted white scapulars; red facial skin; yellow bill. Coastal endemic of western South America (Peru, Chile). Near Threatened; restricted to rocky coasts with Humboldt Current upwelling. Feeds on fish by diving in cold, productive inshore waters.
