It eats mostly fish which it catches by diving. An interesting feature about cormorants is that unlike most seabirds, they don't have any waterproofing. This allows the cormorant to have wet feathers which reduces buoyancy making deep diving easier. Because of the lack of water-proofing, cormorants are often seen standing on rocks drying their wings. | « June 2014 | August 2014 » | Bird of the Month Archives | Dereila Nature Inn Home > Bird's Nest Lounge > Bird of the Month top
