Editing Spectacled cormorant (section)

==Extinction==
Apart from the fact that it fed on [[fish]], almost nothing else is known about the life history of this bird. The population declined quickly after further visitors to the area started collecting the birds for food and [[feather]]s. Their reports of profitable [[whaling]] grounds and large populations of [[Arctic fox]]es and other animals with valuable pelts led to a massive influx of whalers and fur traders into the region; the last birds were reported to have lived around 1850 on [[Kamen Ariy]] ({{langx|ru|Камень Арий}}<ref>
''Ariy Kamen''. Often misspelled "Aji Kamen" or even "Aii Kimur".</ref>)
islet, off the northwestern tip of [[Bering Island]].

Only seven known specimens are currently preserved in public collections, with all specimens collected and given away by the same individual.<ref name=":2" /> None of these specimens are available on public display.

A presumed prehistoric record from [[Amchitka Island]], [[Alaska]],<ref name=Siegel/> is based on misidentification of [[double-crested cormorant]] remains.<ref name=Olson/>
