Local Notes
- Glacier Bay/Brandt's Cormorant: Not known to occur (edit)
- Haines/Brandt's Cormorant: Not known to occur (edit)
- Juneau/Brandt's Cormorant: Not known to occur (edit)
- Ketchikan/Brandt's Cormorant: (edit)
- Sitka/Brandt's Cormorant: Apparently Rare in the area during summer, there are no reports from the road system. There is some question about the reports of Brandt's Cormorant in the Sitka area. In particular, the St. Lazaria nesting reports have been questions, as no other observers have reported nesting Brandt's Cormorants on the island, despite nearly two decades of summer-long observations of nesting birds starting in the mid-1990s.
