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.

Neotropical Cormorant

58–73 cm. Dark brown-black; olive-yellow bare facial skin; small crest in breeding. Most widely distributed New World cormorant; resident from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego in freshwater and coastal habitats. Feeds on fish by diving; colonial nester in trees near water.
