All GTA Online cormorant locations

The Grand Senora Desert and Mount Chiliad State Wilderness locations are good spots for cormorants in GTA Online. Also known as Great Cormorants, these birds have a distinct beak, webbed feet, and spotted wings. 

In the first location, you can find them flying in flocks. They’re pretty slow so you can quickly take photos of them. Try heading there during the day in-game. But you can spot them at night as well. As for the Mount Chiliad State Wilderness, you can occasionally spot these birds either in the sky or on the ground. The bridge south of Fort Zancudo in the marshy region is another good place to check.

Taking an image here after starting the wildlife photography event will help you make progress and earn RP. For the complete experience, consider purchasing the Declasse Park Ranger and roam across the map to clear this challenge.
