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.
Indian Cormorant
63 cm. Black above; white underparts; white ear tufts in breeding; long white filoplumes on neck. Resident across South and Southeast Asia in freshwater lakes, rivers, and estuaries. Near Threatened; declining due to wetland loss. Feeds on small fish; colonial breeder in trees.
