Red-legged Cormorant

 

The Red-legged Cormorant is an attractive coastal cormorant; locally fairly common in the Humboldt Current. Often seen perched on jetties, inshore rocks, and cliffs.


Note distinctive big white neck patch, pale scalloping on upperparts, brightly colored bill, and red legs.


Mainly feeds in small groups or as scattered individuals.
