Neotropic Cormorant

The Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) can be found throughout the American tropics and subtropics, from the middle Rio Grande and the Gulf and Californian coasts of the United States south through Mexico and Central America to southern South America. It has a long tail and is mainly black with a yellow-brown throat patch. The upper wings are somewhat grayer than the rest of the body. The Neotropic Cormorant eats mainly small fish, but will also eat tadpoles, frogs, and aquatic insects.
