		Discussion The Pelagic Cormorant feeds mainly on fish, which it pursues both close to shore and far out at sea.
		To catch this prey it dives deeply; birds have been taken in fishing nets at depths of 180 feet (55 meters).
		This species' small size enables it to spring directly from the water, rather than paddling along the surface as other cormorants do.
