Introduction of the Fish Eagle:

The cormorant is a bird of the genus Cormorant in the order Boobies, family Cormoridae, and is also known as the Fish Eagle or the Water Old Crow. The body is streamlined, with a flattened underbody, a long, supple neck, broad, long and blunt wings, and strong, powerful and posteriorly placed feet. Iris red; bill gray-black; feet black-green; periphery almost entirely black with a greenish-brown metallic sheen; white filamentous plumage behind the head and a white spot on the underparts during the breeding season, these features disappearing during the non-breeding season. Juvenile body plumage is brown.

The cormorant is widespread abroad on continents other than South America and Antarctica. It is found in suitable habitats throughout China, mostly as a summer migrant in the north and as a winter migrant or resident bird in the south.

Feeds on a variety of fish, but also eats amphibians, crustaceans, cephalopods and other invertebrates, and is known to engage in group predation or cooperative feeding behavior. The standard breeding cycle is 19-20 weeks, and in seasonal climates, successful reproduction usually occurs once a year, with clutches of 1-6 eggs, light blue, long pear-shaped, and incubated for 28-32 days.

Cormorants are medium to large seabirds. The smallest form is the pygmy cormorant, which is 45 centimeters long and weighs 340 grams; the largest is the weak-winged cormorant, which is 100 centimeters long and weighs 5 kilograms. The spectacled cormorant (Phalacrocorax perspicillatus), which became extinct in 1850, was also quite large, weighing an average of 6.3 kg.
