Flightless Cormorant (Phalacrocorax harrisi), Fernandina, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
A Pygmy Cormorant (Microcarbo pygmaeus) perches on a bare branch with its wings fully spread, basking in the sunlight to dry its feathers. The bird’s glossy black plumage contrasts against the soft-focus natural background, creating a striking wildlife moment. This characteristic pose highlights the cormorant’s adaptation to aquatic life, emphasizing its need to dry its non-waterproof feathers after diving for fish. The intricate details of the wings and the dynamic posture showcase the beauty of this small yet resilient waterbird.

Unlike its similar seagoing cousins, the Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) can thrive in an arid climate as long as there are ponds or wetlands with small fish and amphibians for the cormorants to eat.  Unlike most birds, cormorant feathers get wet when they dive for fish so they need to dry them out before they can fly efficiently. After fishing, cormorants perch on a branch or log with their wings outstretched in the sunshine.  This male cormorant was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
