Imperial cormorants form strong pair bonds, often greeting each other at the nest with gentle beak-to-beak contact. Both parents share duties—building the nest, incubating eggs, and raising chicks in tightly packed coastal colonies in the Falkland Islands and other sub-Antarctic and Antarctic locations. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 26mm) ISO 400, f/7.1 at 1/6400th of a second, Nikon SB-900 flash.
