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 male cormorant was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
In Britain this seabird is usually referred to as simply the shag. The scientific genus name derives from the Latin for glutton. The species name aristotelis commemorates the Greek philosopher Aristotle.

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.
