  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.
As other species were discovered by English-speaking sailors and explorers elsewhere in the world, some were called cormorants and some shags, depending on whether they had crests or not.

 The Americans in Panama - Chapter 9
Their plan was to divert the Chagres and tributary rivers, of which there are 26 in the Canal Zone, but digging new channels for them, and so get them out of the way of the canal.
But their dame across the Chagres River was to be at Bohio, seventeen miles inland from the Caribbean, while the American engineers advised a dam at Gatun, only seven miles inland.
The idea was to build a dam high enough to back the accumulated river water toward Pacific for a distance of 32 miles, and at an average depth, in the canal channel, of 45 feet throughout.

 [No title]
It was this thought that made Shag smile as he rose from his knees, with the echoes of the bells of St. Boniface haunting his heart.
The recreation interval was all too short for the boys to have their talk out, and when the "good-nights" came Hal wrung Shag's hand with a sincerity and heartiness that brought a responsive thrill into the fingers of the lonely boy who was spending his first night fifteen hundred miles away from home.
A few hours later, just before Shag stepped out on the platform to read the address to His Excellency, he paid a flying visit to Hal, who, feeling much better, in fact quite on the mend, was sitting up in bed devouring toast and broth.

 Apalachicola: Fishing's Forgotten Paradise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Up the Apalachicola River itself things can get a little busy, but only during bass tournaments, and not for anglers fishing crappies, big bluegills or their gaudy subspecies, the Apalachicola painted bream, in the main river creeks and drainages of Tate's Hell swamp or Lake Wimcoe on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Shag's drill is to keep moving into smaller and smaller tributaries, working eddies and bends.
Shag's buddy Lloyd Alford, who concentrates on the main river, tributary mouths, backs of sandbars and eddies, knows you can catch good bass 96 miles up the Apalachicola at the dam that backs up Lake Seminole.

 Shag, Phalacrocorax aristotelis
Although the majority of shags, unlike many cormorants, do not normally wander far in winter from their breeding haunts, a small number make prolonged stays on the Norfolk coast.
It is perhaps surprising that the reach of river close to the old Technical College in Norwich should have attracted immature shags during at least four winters.
At the same time four shags (among a flock of 40) were discovered inside the giant cooling towers of Bedford Power Station.

 Danville Register Bee | Stepping to the tune of the shag
For those not familiar with the shag, the dance is said to have originated on the South Carolina beach in the 1930s as a mix of the Charleston and Collegiate Shag.
The hallmark of the dance - the intricate steps initiated by either partner - evolved as a result of the unique environment in which the dance was born; namely, the sandy beaches, which eliminated many of the patterns and spins of traditional swing dancing in favor of inspired, energetic footwork.
The Carolina shag club’s annual award is reserved for those who have been instrumental in establishing and continuing shag dancing activities in their communities.

 Carolina Shag Dance at Ocean Drive Resort North Myrtle Beach
The original Carolina Shag is said to have originated in North Myrtle Beach's Atlantic Beach area, but many agree on the modern form of the dance being danced in the North Myrtle Beach area known as OD or Ocean Drive in the mid 1940s.
The "Shag" is comprised of fancy footwork by the leading partner, with the follower partner matching the leaders's footwork occasionally.
Carolina Shag became known as "Beach Swing" and was done to "Beach Music", influenced by Motown, Blues and Oldies music as it is presently known.

Mr Hickey said the Shag River usually dropped to similar levels at this time of year and most of those who took water from the river were prepared for the cutbacks.
Soil moisture levels and river flows were expected to be below normal or about normal for the South Island for the next month.
