Wild Bird Wednesday 455 - Little Black Cormorant

The Little Black Cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) is a reasonably common species found over all of Australia - most typically in freshwater habitats.  This individual was no exception, and was drying / thermo-regulating om a log at my local wetland.

As you can see it a classically black cormorant, but it does have wonderful green eyes.

    That BLACK Cormorant better not get arrested for public pooping or pretty soon he won't be able to breathe.

    Feathers appear uniformly black and imagine that green eye!
