White-breasted Cormorant (Phalacrocorax lucidus)
About the White-breasted Cormorant
The white-breasted cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo lucidus) is a subspecies of the widely distributed great cormorant, formerly often considered to be a separate species. Its distinguishing features include a white breast and a preference for freshwater habitats among its subpopulations. The species should not be confused with the smaller and morphologically distinct endemic South Australian black-faced cormorant, which occasionally shares the common name "white-breasted cormorant".
