Title	A cormorant. Birds like this are bred for fishing.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Ein Kormoran. Solche Vögel werden zum Fischfang gezüchtet.
Description	Annotation translation: "Many fishermen on the East River have 2-3 such birds. They sit on a raft in the river and when they see a fish with their sharp eyes they dive into the water, fetch it and lay it on the raft like a poodle bringing a stick. People put a ring round their necks to stop them swallowing the fish. If they have done their work well during the day they get some fish for themselves in the evening. An energetic bird can catch up to 40 pounds in the course of a day. A good fisher-bird can cost up to 150 dollars."; Annotation: "Manche Fischer am Ostfluss haben 2-3 solcher Vögel. Sie befinden sich auf einem Floss inmitten des Flusses & sobald sie mit ihren scharfen Augen einen Fisch erblicken, stürzen sie sich ins Wasser, holen ihn & aportieren wie ein Pudel einen Stock etc. Damit sie die Fische nicht verschlucken können, legt man ihnen einen Ring um den Hals. Sind sie fleissig gewesen, so bekommen sie am Abend einige Fische zum fressen. Ein fleissiger Vogel kann bis zu 40 Pfund Fische per Tag fangen. Der Preis eines solchen guten Fängers beträgt bis zu 150 Fr."
