Brandt's cormorant

Phalacrocorax penicillatus

Description:

The back side of Alcatraz also has a closed area dedicated to the protection of the marine bird species that nest in the island. There is a big colony of cormorants there. Most of the ones I saw looked like juveniles since they still do not have the blue chin under the bill very clearly developped.

Habitat:

Alcatraz Island, SF Bay, CA.
