Phalacrocorax magellanicus (Gmelin, JF, 1789)
The Rock Shag (Phalacrocorax magellanicus), also known as the Magellanic Cormorant, is a marine cormorant found around the southernmost coasts of South America. Its breeding range is from around Valdivia, Chile, south to Cape Horn and Tierra del Fuego, and north to Punta Tombo in Argentina. In winter it is seen further north, with individuals reaching as far as Santiago, Chile on the west coast and Uruguay on the east.
