Little shag / Kawaupaka: Birds Image Stock https://www.birdsimagestock.com/p658358813 The little shag (Microcarbo melanoleucos) name refers to the bird's "shaggy" feather crest that many species display on their heads during breeding. It is also widely known as the little pied cormorant or by its Māori name, kawaupaka. It is best identified by its short, stubby, bright yellow bill with a darker ridge along the top edge. While this species is typically black on top and entirely white beneath across most of its Australasian range, a dark form with only white cheeks, throat, and upper neck predominates heavily in New Zealand. en-us (C) BirdsImageStock birdsimagestock@gmail.com (Birds Image Stock) Fri, 06 Nov 2026 13:12:59 GMT Fri, 06 Nov 2026 13:17:42 GMT Birds Animals https://www.birdsimagestock.com/img/s/v-10/p1855360003-10.jpg Little shag / Kawaupaka: Birds Image Stock https://www.birdsimagestock.com/p658358813 120 78 Little shag / Kawaupaka https://www.birdsimagestock.com/p658358813/e6E968C03
