Description
A flock of cormorants perched in a cypress tree along the St. Johns river in Florida.
Cormorants and shags are medium-to-large birds, with body weight in the range of 0.77–11.02 lb and wing span of 18–39 in. The majority of species have dark feathers. The bill is long, thin and hooked. Their feet have webbing between all four toes. All species are fish-eaters, catching the prey by diving from the surface. They are excellent divers, and under water they propel themselves with their feet with help from their wings; some cormorant species have been found to dive as deep as 145 feet. They have relatively short wings due to their need for economical movement underwater, and consequently have the highest flight costs of any bird.
Cormorants nest in colonies around the shore, on trees, islets or cliffs. They are coastal rather than oceanic birds, and some have colonized inland waters.
