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.

84–89 cm. Large; glossy dark green with blue throat pouch; white face plumes in breeding. Breeds along Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to Baja California. Feeds on fish in kelp beds and rocky shores; plunge-dives and pursues fish underwater. Colonial rooster on sea cliffs.
