Nesting
More on the Flightless(Galapagos) Cormorant. They build a nest of seaweed just above the high tide level. Both parents share the incubation and feeding chores. The male and female are identical in color and markings except the male is larger. (The juveniles are similar but more of a sleek blackish color and a dark eye) They are strong swimmers chasing fish eel and octopus. They feed close to the bottom and not more than a 100 meters from the shore. As well as not having good wings, their breast bone where the flying muscle are attached is not shaped the same as the cormorants here. The body feathers are thicker, denser and almost like hair.
