What has attracted the attention of this Chinese cormorant fisherman? The woven reed hat provides protection from the heat and glare of the sun as he goes about his business, whether on the shore or out on the water. Becoming a lost art, cormorant fishing is an ancient practice in which trained cormorants dive for fish and bring them back to the fisherman waiting in anticipation on his tiny boat.
