Great Cormorant Fishing, Man With Great Cormorant Fishing On River Near Village.
People have used cormorants to help them fish for centuries.
In 5th century China and Japan, and 16th century Europe, fishermen fitted tethered rings loosely around the birds’ necks, keeping them from swallowing larger fish.
Cormorants live a long time, and some of the older cormorants would keep fishing even without the rings and tethers.
Into the 20th century in Macedonia and Greece, fishermen used captive cormorants to herd fish toward their nets.
Great Cormorants often hold the wings open when they are out of the water.
They typically face into the wind and turn their backs to the sun.
This behavior probably serves to warm them and help dry the plumage.
It may also aid in the digestion of prey.
Great Cormorants are found throughout the world, but outside of North America they inhabit mostly freshwater rivers and lakes.
The claw of the Great Cormorant’s middle toe is pectinated, or serrated like a comb.
It’s thought that the birds use this for preening the plumage.
The oldest Great Cormorant ever recorded was a male in Denmark that was at least 22 years old.
In North America, the oldest Great Cormorant was a bird banded in Quebec as a nestling and found in Nova Scotia in 1951, when it was 14 years, 4 months old.
