[Photo Courtesy Dominion Museum THE WHITE-THROATED SHAG. The white-throated Shag is distributed throughout New Zealand. Its food, so far as is known, consists of fresh-water fish such as small eels and Crustacea. Although, this species may take small trout, there is no authentic evidence of such action. It is a small species of dark plumage, except that the underparts of the head and part of the back are white. Some birds have more of the underparts white than others.
