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-faced Cormorant
71–89 cm. Dark with vivid red facial skin; blue eyes; glossy green sheen. Breeds Aleutian and western Alaskan islands and NE Asia coasts. Feeds on fish and invertebrates in shallow coastal waters. Near Threatened; populations affected by oil pollution and entanglement in gillnets.
