Great Cormorant at Au-Ku wetland











TheGreat Cormorant

Remember last winter at Kinmen, the inbound Great Cormorant lined up as a "V" shape, then landed on the Tze lake and the famous "bird tree". It's really beautiful scenery in the dawn.





I went to Au-Ku wetland last weekend, where I seldom had some surprise over there. It's a great day before the cold winter coming, and I found that there's lots of great Cormorant that day,
and I took tons of shot with this black and not-so-beautiful Cormorant this time.



Whole bunch of Cormorants fly in





They love to fly beneath the water like they are hiding the redar detection











Great Cormorant prefer to land on the lone branch for some sun bath, but there's alway less places for all of them.









So sometime they have to fight for the comfort place







At last, you can find some funny behaviors that I took from those Cormorant.....

Great stuff! I just discovered your blog. Fantastic pictures, well presented. If you or any other of the birders you refer to ever come to Portland, Oregon in the U.S., I'll be happy to put you up in my home and take you birding. I lived in Hualien for several years and still miss it. I speak Mandarin fluently and can ever struggle to read it, but I am lazy, so thanks for this English version!
