Cormoran de Brandt posé sur un rocher. Cette espèce, peu connue au Québec, comparativement à notre Cormoran à aigrettes, est reconnaissable à son plumage brun-noir et son bec fin.

🔬🔎🐦 Join the Point Blue Marine Lab at @exploratorium.bsky.social this Friday 3/28! We will be learning about the regurgitated pellets of the #brandtscormorant, a common piscivorous (fish-eating) seabird. Turns out that #seabird puke is the key to some pretty amazing insights! #addOcean
Wildlife at La Jolla Cove. I was so excited about the birds. I didn't even realize there were sea lions until I heard their barking. #photography #wildlife #sandiego #sealion #Brandtscormorant #birds #lajollacove #ocean
