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.
Hawfinch
锡嘴雀是欧洲和亚洲温带林地的粗壮雀类，喙硕大有力，可以磕开坚硬的果核。羽色棕褐，头部具橙棕色，翅黑色带白斑。栖息于落叶林和混交林，以硬果、浆果和种子为食。冬季常集结成群在林地觅食。
