The Neotropic Cormorant is found throughout South America and up to southern USA. It is found both inland and on the coast though it is rarely found very far from the coast. It is also found from sea-level up to about 4,000 metres in the Andes.
Like the Anhinga, their feathers become completely soaked during a dive which is why they are often found perched with their wings spread out to dry.
