Description
I photographed the unusual siting of an African White Breasted Comorant at Col Francis Beatty Park in Mecklenburg County, NC. The White-breasted Cormorant is a Southern African bird that belongs to the Phalacrocoracidae bird family group which includes birds such as Cormorants. This birds forages for fish and other aquatic dwellers through surface sizing and diving for food in the water.This bird has a specially adapted bill which helps it hunt for fish, crabs, shrimp and other aquatic animals in the water. The White-breasted Cormorant is found in the Southern African wetlands, riverine forests and moist grasslands. Portions of the information regarding the African White Breasted Comarant was found at the following site http://www.birdsinsa.com/
