September 15, 2012 - Karma Cormorant
The cormorants are interesting birds that have caught the eye of many Edhatters recently. In fact, a few Edhat Staff Members have never heard of these
types of birds, let alone seen them. After a quick google search the staff learned a few fun facts about these odd looking guys.
Did you know: After fishing, cormorants go ashore, and are frequently seen holding their wings out in the sun; it is assumed that this is to dry
them. Unusually for a water bird, their feathers are not waterproofed. This may help them dive quickly, since their feathers do not retain air bubbles.
Also, under water cormorants propel themselves with their feet. Some cormorant species have been found, using depth gauges, to dive to depths of
as much as 45 meters.
In the news: The Red Cross of Santa Barbara County urges everyone to plan for emergencies during the National Preparedness Month, Salmonella
contaminations in Cantaloupes have sparked recalls across the state, and we topped it off with Friday Flash Photos that made you laugh. Read these stories
and more, below.
