About Pelagic Cormorant (Urile pelagicus)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Pelicans
  • Family: Cormorants

The pelagic cormorant, also known as Baird's cormorant or violet-green cormorant, is a small member of the cormorant family Phalacrocoracidae. Analogous to other smallish cormorants, it is also called the pelagic shag occasionally. This seabird lives along the coasts of the northern Pacific; during winter it can also be found in the open ocean. Pelagic cormorants have relatively short wings due to their need for economical movement underwater, and consequently have the highest flight costs of any bird.
