This bird was about 1 foot long. Notice its strong bill, which helps it make a meal of almost anything it can find. Another common shore hunter is the Cormorant. We saw this flock of Cormorants on a rock near La Jolla Cove , although we couldn't get close enough to take a detailed photo. From all the bird droppings, you can tell this rock is a common perch.
Cormorants are fish-catchers.
They can dive into the water to catch fish. At high tide, these plants may be underwater. All Rights Reserved.
