Phalacrocoracidae is a family of approximately 40 species of aquatic birds commonly known as cormorants and shags. Several different classifications of the family have been proposed, but in 2021 the IOC adopted a consensus taxonomy of seven genera.[

Unlike its similar seagoing cousins, the Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) can thrive in an arid climate as long as there are ponds or wetlands with small fish and amphibians for the cormorants to eat. Unlike most birds, cormorant feathers get wet when they dive for fish so they need to dry them out before they can fly efficiently. After fishing, cormorants perch on a branch or log with their wings outstretched in the sunshine. This male cormorant was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
