The Phalacrocorax carbo, commonly known as the Great Cormorant, is a majestic bird that can be found in various parts of the world. In Picture No. 11992201, we see a female Great Cormorant with her wings outstretched to dry in Cleveland, UK. This behavior is typical of cormorants as they have specialized feathers that are not completely waterproof. Moving on to Oosterdijk, where we witness the Common / Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) nesting in trees. These birds create their nests high up in trees for protection from predators and flooding. In Bushy Park, two Common Cormorants are perched on a statue, using it as a platform to dry out their feathers after swimming. Their distinctive black plumage stands out against the backdrop of greenery. Even in snowy conditions like those captured in Netherlands during January, the Great Cormorant remains resilient. The image shows one standing tall amidst snow-covered surroundings - truly an embodiment of strength and adaptability. Venturing into Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin reveals great cormorants resting gracefully on bold cypresses. This sight showcases nature's harmony as these magnificent birds find solace among towering trees. The series of captivating images numbered 180520w0097, P2A1999, P2A1853, P2A1823, and P2A0135 depict different facets of this remarkable species - from swimming peacefully on ponds at Valkenhorst Nature Reserve to spreading its wings wide while drying off or simply enjoying moments of tranquility.
