The great cormorant, known as the great black cormorant across the Southern Hemisphere, is a widespread member of the cormorant family of seabirds.
It breeds in much of the Old World, Australia, and the Atlantic coast of the Americas.
The great cormorant often nests in colonies near wetlands, rivers, and sheltered inshore waters. Pairs will use the same nest site to breed year after year. It builds its nest, which is made from sticks, in trees, on the ledges of cliffs, and on the ground on rocky islands that are free of predators. The great cormorant feeds on fish caught through diving.
