About These Birds

Great Cormorant

The great cormorant is one of the most widespread seabirds in the world. Unlike most waterbirds, cormorants lack fully waterproof plumage, leading to the iconic pose of standing with wings spread open to dry. In Asia, cormorants have been used by fishermen to catch fish for over a thousand years.

オウギワシ

ハーピーワシは世界で最も強力な猛禽類の一つで、ハイイログマの爪ほどの大きさの鉤爪を持つ。パナマの国鳥。大規模な未撹乱の森林の生息地を必要とするため、森林破壊がこの種の最大の脅威。
