  • Cover photo description:
  • This is a Nannopterum brasilianum cormorant species, Phalacrocoracidae family. It is a medium-sized cormorant found throughout the American tropics and subtropics, from the middle Rio Grande and the Gulf and Californian coasts of the United States south through Mexico and Central America to southern South America. It can be found both at coasts and on inland waters. Adult plumage is mainly black, with a yellow-brown throat patch. The neotropic cormorant was documented in 1658 by the Dutch naturalist Willem Piso after travels in Brazil. This formed the basis for the formal description and naming of the species by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1789. It was formerly classified in the genus Phalacrocorax, but a 2014 study supported reclassifying it and several other American cormorant species into the genus Nannopterum. The International Ornithological Committee followed this classification in 2021. Observed at lake Petén Itzá shores, Petén department, Guatemala.
