Neotropic Cormorant (Nannopterum brasilianum)
This photograph corresponds to a record of Neotropic Cormorant (Nannopterum brasilianum) made in Parque San Martín, Salta (Capital), Salta, Argentina on 04/12/2013. The photograph was published by Eduardo Vicente Fumarola and is part of the EcoRegistros biodiversity database.
Los "Chumucos", tal el nombre común de estas aves en el NOA, suelen descender al lago del parque en busca de peces con los cuales alimentarse. Años atrás, conjuntamente con otras de plumaje oliváceo y porte semejante, conocidas como "Zorros del Agua", pernoctaban en los Eucalyptus camaldulensis de las inmediaciones. Fueron oportunamente ahuyentadas pues sus deposiciones sembraban de pánico y lunares blancos, ropa y cabellera, de los sorprendidos viandantes que se atrevían a pasar por allí.
