Description
The cormorant is abundant along the Pacific coast, breeding in large colonies on rocky islands. The Farralone, a smaller species, breeds abundantly on the Farralone Islands, California; also in the interior, nesting in extensive colonies in trees near some of the large lakes. A colony of this species has been reported at Tule Lake, Oregon. The young are hatched entirely naked, their skin resembling a greasy black kid glove. In this condition, and even after the down is on them, they are an irresistible morsel to the hungry gulls.
