26 EIRDS OF MAINE. 



Family PHALACROCORACIDiE. Cormorants. 

 Genus PHALACROCORAX Brisson. 

 Subgenus PHALACROCORAX. 



42. (119). Phalacrocorax carbo (iiun.). Cormorant. 



A common winter visitor along the coast but to my knowledge 

 it certaiul}^ does not breed in the state. It departs for the north 

 in late April or early May. 



Couut}^ Records.— Cumberland, "apparently a common winter resident" 

 (Brown's Cat. Birds of Portland, p. 33) ; Knox, "winter"' (RacklifF) ; 

 Penobscot, "accidental, one shot at Cherao Pond in October, 1896, by Mr. 

 Mudgett of Orono" (Knight) ; Sagadahoc, "a few from fall to spring" 

 (Spinney); Washington, "not abundant" (Boardman). 



43. (120). Phalacrocorax dilophus (Swain.). Double- 

 crested Cormorant. 



This species is commonest coastwise in migrations, but it is also 

 a rare resident along the coast. A few pairs nest annually on 

 Black Horse Ledge near Isle an Haut. It is, however, seemingly 

 not found in winter, save in these counties near or within the Alle- 

 ghanian Fauna.
