The Japanese cormorant (''Phalacrocorax capillatus'') is a bird classified in the genus [[Cormorant]], in the order [[Suliformes]], and is known for its use in the traditional fishing method of [[cormorant fishing]] in Japan. They mainly live near the coast, and their habitat and breeding grounds in Japan range from the north of [[Honshu]] to the [[Hokkaido]] coast, as well as islands and cape reefs in northern Honshu. In the winter, they migrate to southwestern Honshu to overwinter. Terushima is located at the southernmost tip of the [[Tohoku]] region on the Pacific side, and they usually fly there from October to November and stay on the rocky area of the island, returning to the north of Japan around March to April of the following year, but some visit Terushima throughout the year. Some resident birds are seen, and a small number of these are known to breed on Terushima.
