Neotropical Cormorant

Nannopterum brasilianum

Overview

Arenal and Tortuguero are the two atlas places where the Neotropical Cormorant is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Costa Rica, and the atlas holds about 799,000 open records of the bird from 19 countries. This map follows where those records concentrate.

Because the species is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Neotropical Cormorant as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
