Least Concern

The Neotropic Cormorant is a fish-eating waterbird of the Americas from warm temperate wetlands to tropical lowlands. It dives from the surface to chase fish and aquatic prey, then often rests upright on rocks, posts, banks, or trees with wings held out to dry. Colonies usually form near productive coasts, lakes, rivers, or wetlands.
