The anhinga and cormorant are often confused. They share similar characteristics, such as long, snake-like necks, and can be seen perched along the coast, rivers, lakes or ponds, often cohabiting in the same areas. Cormorants have striking crystal-like blue eyes and anhingas display a striking blue-green eye ring in its breeding plumage. Betsy Crisp said she couldn’t get close enough to decide on which bird this was, when she snapped this photo on Treasure Lake in Land O’ Lakes.
