The common '''Cormorant''' (''Phalacrocorax cabro'') is a [[sea]] [[bird]]. It is related to [[gull]]s and [[fulmar]]s but most closely to [[pelican]]s, and it is often confused with the [[Shag]]. The cormorant is well known for its habit of hanging out its wings to dry. This is because its [[plumage]] is not particularly waterproof, as it lacks the necessary preen gland that most birds have. Cormorants eat fish and also hunt inland, where they have been known to catch [[frog]]s and other [[amphibian]]s. Cormorants are serious pests in fisheries, and there is often a bounty on their heads, leading to them be killed in large numbers by fisherman.
