Thanks guys - I had to go do a lil digging but in this case it was worth it - It was is Double Crested Cormorant - not the Anhinga.

He was still eating my fish.... wink


- Slender, long-necked with a straight, pointy bill, wearing a snazzy jacket = Anhinga.

- Shorter necked , hooked, curved and orange bill, wearing basic black = Cormorant!
