Phalacrocoracidae is a family of approximately 40 species of aquatic birds commonly known as cormorants and shags. Several different classifications of the family have been proposed, but in 2021 the IOC adopted a consensus taxonomy of seven genera.[

Close up of an adult Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) standing by the side of a lake

Perched at the edge of a weathered pier under the warm sun, a black-and-white cormorant overlooks the calm waters of Lake Macquarie. Its sleek feathers gleam in the sunlight as it rests, occasionally stretching its wings in preparation for another dive into the lake's depths. The tranquil scene captures the contrast of the cormorant's dark plumage against the sparkling blue of the lake, highlighting the bird's natural affinity for both land and water habitats. Amidst the peaceful ambiance of the lakeside, the cormorant embodies the harmony between wildlife and the serene beauty of Australia's coastal landscapes.

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 yawning female cormorant was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

The white-breasted cormorant (Phalacrocorax lucidus) is much like the widespread great cormorant and if not a regional variant of the same species, is at least very closely related. It is distinguished from other forms of the great cormorant by its white breast and by the fact that subpopulations are freshwater birds. Phalacrocorax lucidus is not to be confused with the smaller and very different endemic South Australian black-faced cormorant, which also is sometimes called the white-breasted cormorant.
