Pelagic Cormorant
Phalacrocorrax pelagicus
We see smaller
numbers of the Pelagic Cormorant as compared to the Double-crested
and generally they are seen towards the northern or harbor-mouth
ends of the bay. Smaller and thinner than the Brants or
Double-crested Cormorants, they are also uniformly dark - almost
black - in color. Springtime breeding plumage reveals a white patch
on the birds' flank, just behind the wing.
