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.

Japanese Cormorant

줄얼굴가마우지는 일본, 한국, 중국 동북부의 바위 해안에서 번식하는 대형 가마우지입니다. 검은 깃털에 흰 얼굴 반점이 있으며, 일본에서 수 세기에 걸쳐 가마우지 낚시(우카이)에 활용되어 왔습니다.
