Yeehaw partner! Let me tell you about my obsession with those sassy, bushy-browed sky pirates in Red Dead Redemption 2 - the magnificent Cormorants! These feathery bandits ain't your average birds; they strut around like they own every riverbank from Saint Denis to Strawberry, flaunting those ridiculous cartoonish eyebrows that make 'em look perpetually surprised. I swear, the first time I spotted one perched near Flat Iron Lake, those fluffy devils seemed to wink at me before taking flight! Hunting these winged rascals has become my personal vendetta - nothing gets my cowboy blood pumping like chasing these living loot pinatas across the wildest waterways of the frontier.

These Feathered Goldmines Ain't Playing Around
Holy moly, these birds are walking treasure chests! When you finally nail that perfect shot (after missing about twenty times like I did), you'll be swimming in:
-
âĻ Glorious feathers that shimmer like liquid moonlight
-
ðđ Flight feathers so perfect they practically beg to be turned into arrows
-
ð Bird meat that'll make your campfire stew sing
-
ðŠķ Carcasses that fetch top dollar at the butcher
I'm telling ya, these Cormorants are basically flying dollar bills! That first time I plucked one near Lagras, I felt like Scrooge McDuck diving into his vault. The crafting possibilities? Chef's kiss! ð
My Secret Stomping Grounds for Bird Bandits
After countless moons tracking these winged wonders across five states, I've mapped their favorite hideouts:
Lemoyne: The Swampy Paradise
This muggy paradise is Cormorant central! My favorite spots:
| Location | Hot Tip |
|---|---|
| Between Lagras & Lakay | Wear your swamp boots - gators love company! |
| Calliga Hall shoreline | Perfect for sunset hunting sessions ð |
| Kamassa River fork | They cluster here like train station pigeons |
That bayou air thick enough to chew while those feathery rascals taunt you from the reeds - pure magic!
West Elizabeth: River Runner's Delight
Up near Thieve's Landing, the river islands become Cormorant condos! My pro-tips:
-
Upper Montana River forks â Stand on the eastern islands and pick 'em off like fish in a barrel!
-
Tall Trees border â Bring your binoculars - they blend with the pines!
-
Flat Iron Lake mouth â Set up camp here at dawn for maximum feather frenzy
Even when I've stuffed Arthur with enough stew to feed a ranch, chasing these winged acrobats through the cottonwoods feels like dancing!
New Hanover's Hidden Gems
This region's trickier but oh-so-rewarding:
-
Dakota River's lower bends â Sneak up from the West Elizabeth side for ambushes
-
Flat Iron/Lemoyne peninsula â They sunbathe here like rich folk at a resort!
-
North of Annesburg â Bring warm gear - the Roanoke winds bite!
Finding Cormorants here feels like uncovering hidden treasure - tougher than locating rare herbs but twice as thrilling!
Why These Birds Stole My Cowboy Heart
Chasing these eyebrow-rocking avians beats any poker game in Valentine! Their ridiculous eyebrows twitch with personality, like nature's own comedians putting on a show just for you. When they take flight, wings snapping like whips against the sunset? Chef's kiss! ð And lemme tell ya - nothing, and I mean NOTHING, compares to that heart-stopping moment when you finally spot those distinctive feathers after hours of searching. It's like the game itself gives you a cheeky wink!
So here's my burning question for fellow outlaws: What's the most hilariously unexpected thing that's happened to YOU while hunting these sassy feathered divas across our beloved frontier? Did one ever steal your hat? Crash your fishing trip? Spill the beans, partners!
