The Japanese cormorant, scientifically known as Phalacrocorax capillatus, is a sleek, black seabird with a distinctive physique characterized by a long neck, a slender bill, and a robust body. This bird is native to the coastal regions of East Asia, prominently residing along the Japanese archipelago. It is particularly noted for its deep greenish-black plumage, which can exhibit a shimmering iridescence in the right lighting, and its striking facial skin that turns a vibrant shade during the breeding season, accentuating its white throat patch.
Japanese cormorants are adept hunters, diving into the water with remarkable agility to catch fish with their sharp bills. They are often seen perched with wings outstretched, a behavior that aids in drying their feathers since, unlike many waterfowl, their feathers are not completely waterproof. This species plays a significant role in the traditional Japanese fishing practice known as 'ukai', where trained cormorants are used by fishermen to catch ayu, or sweetfish. This ancient art reflects the cormorant's integral part in Japanese culture and the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
