Fishing Cormorants, Japan, 1936

"Tethered and collared, cormorants catch and disgorge fish into a boat in Japan. The fisherman tightens the birds' collars to keep them from swallowing their catches."

—From the National Geographic book Through the Lens: National Geographic's Greatest Photographs, 2003
