Description
Unlike its similar seagoing cousins, the Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) can thrive in an arid climate as long as there are ponds or wetlands with small fish and amphibians for the cormorants to eat. Unlike most birds, cormorant feathers get wet when they dive for fish so they need to dry them out before they can fly efficiently. After fishing, cormorants perch on a branch or log with their wings outstretched in the sunshine. This cormorant was photographed with its wings spread at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
