We were on a pseudo-pelagic trip that departed from Pucusana the afternoon of Friday, January 13, 2012, and took us around some of the rocky islands in the bay and Pacific Ocean to bird. Brad photographed this pair of Red-legged Cormorants, Phalacrocorax gaimardi, that looked like they were in the midst of some marital discord. Its light gray plumage, white neck patch, bright reddish-orange legs and base to its yellowish bill are characteristic of the species. The gular pouch is reddish-orange, and the iris is either green or gray. Sexes are similar. The Red-legged Cormorant is restricted to the cold-water Humboldt Current area of Peru and Chile. It is also found along Argentina's Atlantic coast. Temperatures were in the mid-80's with sunny skies and high humidity.
