Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Once considered a subspecies of the world-ranging great cormorant, the major distinction between the two is its white breast and neck (excepting the hindneck). Otherwise each has a white cheek patch. A brown head is broken up by yellow covering the cere, lores and chin. A yellow orbital ring surrounds a green eye. The bill is long and thin, with an upper mandible that is sharply curved at its tip. The lower mandible is white to grey. The long hindneck is brown and shaggy. Other than a white patch on the thigh, body plumage on the white-breasted cormorant is a glossy dark brown. Light brown appears on the upper wing feathers to create a scaled effect. The tail fans out. Legs are black or grey. The feet are totipalmate, which means the webbing connects all four toes. Juvenile’s uppers are a lighter brown than adults. Under parts are entirely off-white.
Length: 80 - 100 cm Wingspan: 121 - 149 cm Bill: 68 cm (males) 62 cm (females) Weight: 3.1 kg (males) 1.8 kg (females) |
