	Cormorant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Guilin, China, cormorant birds are famous for fishing on the shallow Lijiang River.
		The names "cormorant" and "shag" were originally the common names of the two species of the family found in Great Britain, Phalacrocorax carbo (now referred to by ornithologists as the Great Cormorant) and P.
		Cormorants feature quite commonly in heraldry and medieval ornamentation, usually in their "wing-drying" pose, which was seen as representing the Christian cross.

	Neotropic Cormorant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Neotropic Cormorant, Phalacrocorax brasilianus, is a cormorant found throughout the American tropics and subtropics, from the middle Rio Grande and the Gulf and Californian coasts of the USA south through Mexico and Central America to southern South America.
		Neotropic Cormorants are monogamous and breed in colonies.
		The nest is a platform of sticks with a depression in the center circled with twigs and grass.

	Cormorants of Galapagos and Pacific
		Once cormorants (Neotropic Cormorant featured in pictures) catch their prey underwater, they bring it to the surface where they juggle it to get it in the right position so it is easy to swallow.
		Cormorants are often seen perching in large numbers in trees (see photo above taken in Esmeraldas) where they rest or spread their wings to dry them off after diving pursuits.
		As whole cormorants are not considered threatened and in some localities, authorities actually give permission to eradicate them as they are seen to threaten commercial fishing and marauding on fish farms.

	Cormorant family
		The Cormorants are a fairly large family of fisheaters residing along freshwater and saltwater shores around the world, yet all are so closely related that all are usually placed within a single genus Phalacrocorax.
		Cormorants used traditional sites for roosting and nesting, and the droppings at these sites can build up for years.

	BirdForum - Neotropic or Double Crested Cormorant?
		I can not tell from this pictures if it is a Double-crested or Neotropic (olivaceous) Cormorant, but one of the main features I notice to differentiate this two birds is that the Neotropic has a white triangular line on the border to the yellow gular that is not on Double-crested.
		Neotropic would also be extremely rare (possibly a state record?) if you took these pictures in Louisiana.
		While an occasional Double-crested Cormorant can be found in summer near the coast, and perhaps on Lake Pontchartrain, it may be as likely that summering cormorants would be of this species....

		Commentary: Neotropic Cormorants are birds of central America that reach their northern limit in southern Texas and Arizona.
		They look a lot like the more numerous Double-crested Cormorant, differing is size, length of tail, and coloring around the face and throat.
		This bird was photographed where an unlikely Brandt's Cormorant had been reported the previous day - a bird never seen before in AZ, and rarely away from the immediate Pacific coast.

	Phalacrocorax carbo
		Cormorants are those big, fl, rather ugly birds which you often see standing upright on a post, tree or rock with their wings held out to dry.
		Apart from divers which are smaller with shorter, fatter necks, more gentle heads and less brutish bills, Cormorants could only be mistaken for the smaller but closely related Shags.
		In summer Cormorants are easily distinguished by conspicuous white patches on their throats and thighs.

		In the Brazos Valley, Neotropic and Double-crested Cormorants occupy the same habitat and often appear together in flight or side-by-side on the same perch.
		In general, Double-crested is more common than Neotropic, but this hardly a safe assumption.
		In fact, there are probably many more Neotropic Cormorants afield than we take the time to identify.
