Dinsmore 612 112 West Magnolia St. Fort Collins, CO 80521 On 2 May, 1998, I observed a Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) at Sutherland Reservoir in Lincoln County, Nebraska. When I arrived at the lake, I noticed a large number of gulls and cormorants resting on some dead logs near the northwest end of the lake. I scanned the cormorants several times and kept returning to one cormorant that seemed smaller than the nearby Double-crested Cormorants. The bird was sleeping, so size was the only mark I could see well. I studied the bird from 1:54-2:20 p.m. I estimated the body was at least 25% smaller than a Double-crested Cormorant.

Braz J Vet Parasitol 2020; 29(3): e003920. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1984-29612020049 Abstract The Neotropic cormorant Nannopterum (Phalacrocorax) brasilianus (Suliformes: Phalacrocoracidae) is widely distributed in Central and South America. In Chile, information about parasites for this species is limited to helminths and nematodes, and little is known about other parasite groups. This study documents the parasitic fauna present in 80 Neotropic cormorants’ carcasses collected from 2001 to 2008 in Antofagasta, Biobío, and Ñuble regions. Birds were externally inspected for ectoparasites and necropsies were performed to examine digestive and respiratory organs in search of endoparasites.

Cuthbert, D.R. Trexel and A.R. Joshi. 2001. Status of the Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) in North America. Final Report to USFWS. FINAL DRAFT Executive Summary i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction: Since the late-1970s, numbers of Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) (DCCO) have increased significantly in many regions of North America. A variety of problems, both real and perceived, have been associated with these increases, including impacts to aquaculture, sport and commercial fisheries, natural habitats, and other avian species. Concern is especially strong over impacts to sport and commercial fishes and aquaculture. Because of increasing public pressure on U.S. government agencies to reduce DCCO conflicts, the USFWS is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Wildlife Services (USDA/WS) and state resource management agencies, will develop a national management plan for the DCCO. This assessment will be used to prepare the EIS and management plan. Populations and trends: The DCCO breeding range in North America is divided into five geographic areas. Since at least 1980, numbers have clearly increased in three of the breeding areas: Canadian and U.S.

  • Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax Brasilianus)
    Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) NMPIF level: Biodiversity Conservation Concern, Level 2 (BC2) NMPIF assessment score: 15 NM stewardship responsibility: Low NAWCP status: Moderate Concern New Mexico BCRs: 35 Primary breeding habitat(s): Emergent Lakes and Wetlands Other habitats used: Middle Elevation Riparian Summary of Concern The Neotropic Cormorant has a broad distribution extending from southern parts of South America to a northern breeding limit in central New Mexico and north-central Oklahoma. This species was recorded in New Mexico as early as 1854 (Hubbard 1978) with breeding first documented in 1972 (Hundertmark 1974). At times, the species has been relatively common in wetland and open water habitat in the southern parts of the Rio Grande Valley. Since the late 1990’s, the New Mexico breeding population has nearly disappeared due primarily to persistent drought and declining water levels in reservoirs, but it began to show slight improvement in 2007. Associated Species Double-crested Cormorant, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret (BC2), Little Blue Heron, Cattle Egret, Black-crowned Night-Heron Distribution Neotropic Cormorant is resident in lowland areas throughout much of South and Central America, Mexico, the West Indies, and along the Gulf coast of Texas and Louisiana. Inland breeding populations exist in Texas, southern New Mexico, Arizona, and (in 2008) north-central Oklahoma. Birds may appear farther north in the western and central United States during post-breeding dispersal (Telfair and Morrison 1995). In New Mexico, this species was first noted breeding in 1972 at Elephant Butte Lake (Hundertmark 1974). To date, breeding has been documented only in the Rio Grande Valley in Socorro and Sierra Counties, and nonbreeders have wandered north to Bernalillo, west to the Gila Valley and Hidalgo County, east to the Tularosa Basin and middle and lower Pecos Valley, and northeast to Colfax and Union Counties (New Mexico Department of Game and Fish 2006).

  • First Report of Abnormal Plumage in the Anhingidae
    Florida Field Naturalist 40(3):81-84, 2012. FIRST REPORT OF ABNORMAL PLUMAGE IN THE ANHINGIDAE WILLIAM POST The Charleston Museum, 360 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29403 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract.—Plumage abnormalities are rarely reported for species of Pelecaniformes and have not been recorded for most species of this order. I describe a noneumelanic schizochroic female Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) collected in South Carolina in 1987, the first reported case of aberrant plumage in this species. Here I report a specimen of what is apparently the first known occurrence of abnormal plumage coloration in the Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga). The specimen is the fawn variant of schizochroism, a condition resulting from the complete absence of the black or gray pigment eumelanin, with the retention of the brown or buff pigment phaeomelanin, which is normally masked by eumelanin. I compare the plumage of this female with that of normally-colored females. I relate the occurrence of this case of schizocroism to the reported incidence of plumage abnormalities among other species of Pelecaniformes. RESULTS In 1988 I was given a specimen of a female Anhinga with abnormal, drab-brown plumage. It was salvaged from a freshwater pond near Kingstree, South Carolina, 19 August 1987. It was prepared as a study skin with right wing detached and spread (Fig. 1). The color of the specimen, is “fawn” or “cinnamon”, which is characteristic of schizochroic plumage (Harrison 1985). The colors of some feather tracts differ slightly in intensity. The tertials and feathers of the humeral tract are raw umber (color 123 of Smithe 1975).

Increased Abundance and First Breeding Record of the Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) on the Alluvial Plain of Mississippi Abstract Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Neotropic Cormorant) has been observed with increasing frequency in the alluvial plain (Delta region) of Mississippi. In the past 6 years, 22 individuals have been observed in 20 separate sightings during spring and summer. These sightings have occurred at breeding colonies of other colonial waterbirds and commercial aquaculture facilities of Ictalurus punctatus (Channel Catfi sh). Two sexually mature Neotropic Cormorants have been collected at a colonial waterbird breeding colony near the Mississippi River in the western Delta region among fl ocks of Phalacrocorax auritus (Double-crested Cormorants).
