Cormorant

Cormorants, also called sea-skry, were dark-feathered raucous birds that dwelt in the costal areas and fed by diving for fish.
==Ecology==
Even though both, sea gulls and cormorants were foul-tasting fowl, in the village of Ulgoth's Beard, these sea birds were often brought down with well-placed stone throws as they dived for fish. These birds were then boiled with several types of local vegetables, such as leeks, thrae, durfists, and seasoned generously. This local greasy stew was called gudgeon.
In the eastern realm of Kara-Tur, cormorants were sometimes trained by fishers to retrieve fish for their masters. These cormorants were outfitted with silver rings around tier necks to prevent the birds from swallowing their prey.
Cormorants and black egrets plagued the Farsea Marshes of Cormyr. And nested in the towers of Sumbria on the shores of Akanamere.
==History==
Circa 1357 DR, a human barbarian from Kara-Tur, Yu Fu Fang used trained cormorants to fish in the waters of Hungtse River.
