GREAT CORMORANT
 |
|
[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), known as the great black cormorant across the Northern Hemisphere.
The great cormorant is a large black bird, but there is a wide variation in size in the species' wide range.
This is a very common and widespread bird species. It feeds on the sea, in estuaries, and on freshwater lakes and rivers. Northern birds migrate south and winter along any coast that is well-supplied with fish.
The great cormorant often nests in colonies near wetlands, rivers, and sheltered inshore waters. Pairs will use the same nest site to breed year after year. It builds its nest, which is made from sticks, in trees, on the ledges of cliffs, and on the ground on rocky islands that are free of predators. |
