These cliffs are also nesting areas for the Pelagic Cormorant.

The Pelagic Cormorant breeds on rocky shores and islands.

In this case, the Pelagic Cormorant would probably be placed in Compsohalieus.

Pelagic Cormorant.

The Pelagic Cormorant inhabits the shores and the neritic zone of the North Pacific.

Phalacrocorax pelagicus resplendens - Southern Pelagic Cormorant.

The headland cliffs within the quarry provide nesting sites for bank swallows, pelagic cormorants, and Brandt's cormorants.

In fact, the correct genus name for the Pelagic Cormorant, if Phalacrocorax is to be split up, would be Compsohalieus.

Glaucous-winged gulls, pelagic cormorants, pigeon guillemots, rhinoceros auklets and black oystercatchers also return to Mitlenatch each spring to breed.

Cladistic analysis suggests that it is related to other cliff-nesting species such as the Red-footed Shag, Pelagic cormorant and Red-faced Shag.

Kenyon's Shag or Amchitka Cormorant, Phalacrocorax kenyoni, in 1991, now considered to refer to small females of the Pelagic Cormorant.

The Pelagic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax pelagicus), also known as Baird's Cormorant, is a small member of the cormorant family Phalacrocoracidae.

The Amchitka Cormorant or Kenyon's Shag (P. kenyoni) is a supposed species that was presumed to be closely related to the Pelagic Cormorant.

The researchers also found that contrary to what was generally assumed, Pelagic Cormorants from the Aleutians were generally small birds - as opposed to western Alaskan individuals, which are usually very large.

The combination of "slim head [...] vermilion-strapped" and "big black feet" perhaps points at the Pelagic Cormorant, which is the only species occurring in the temperate U.S. with these features.

On 20 July 2003, during an USFWS survey three small Pelagic Cormorants whose bills appeared to be red were noted at Karab Cove on Agattu Island.

Arizona Beach State Recreation Site is home to a variety of wildlife including Elk, Peregrine Falcons, Brown Pelicans, Pigeon Guillemots and Pelagic Cormorants.

Species that can be seen are Brants, Pelagic Cormorants, Common Murres, Tufted Puffins, Pigeon Guillemots, Western Gulls, and Black Oystercatchers.

On land, Pelagic Cormorants are rather clumsy and walk with the high-stepped waddling gait typical for all Sulae except darters; after landing they often scratch the ground, as is typical for cormorants.

Where it nests alongside the Pelagic Cormorant, the Red-faced Cormorant generally breeds the more successfully of the two species, and it is currently increasing in numbers, at least in the easterly parts of its range.

Townspeople lead tours and distribute brochures calling attention to its dealers in antiques and collectibles (there are more than 40 shops within five blocks) and its avian inhabitants (pelagic cormorants, glaucous-winged gulls, herons and eagles).

In the former case, the large naked face "mask" and light bill of P. urile can be easily recognized, in the latter case its larger size (though male Pelagic Cormorants can be as large as female Red-faced Cormorants).

Though it was proposed to place the Pelagic Cormorant in Stictocarbo for example, this is quite certainly wrong, as the present species is by no means closely related to the Spotted Shag (P. punctatus), the type species of Stictocarbo.

This is a North Pacific clade, which apart from Brandt's and the Pelagic Cormorant also includes the Red-faced Cormorant (P. urile) and probably also the extinct Spectacled Cormorant (P. perspicillatus).

After a windswept morning's walk along the bluff trail above the rocky coastline, where seals loll in foamy coves and plucky pelagic cormorants dive in the roughest water, we got back in the car and headed for Mission San Miguel Archángel.

The Pelagic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax pelagicus), also known as Baird's Cormorant, is a small member of the cormorant family Phalacrocoracidae.
