Cormorants on a Ledge
The protagonist, Karana, in Scott Odell's novel, "Island of the Blue Dolphins," wore a skirt of Cormorant feathers. The story was based on a real-life Native American woman who survived alone, on her island home, for many years without human companionship. She was eventually rescued by a passing ship that took her to the California mainland.
