Pelagic Cormorant

These slender CORMORANTS are more graceful and easy than others of the genus, especially in flight. They also possess more acumen and use Gulls as scouts to discover the schools of fish. When the loud cries of gray-mantled skirmishers proclaim fish are breaking, every Cormorant within hearing launches from the cliffs and crowds out the heralds from the feast.

Altho nests are inaccessible to any enemy without wings, they suffer great mortality from gulls and crows. They are also subject to epidemics which kill great numbers.

Range
