The Neotropic Cormorant or Olivaceous Cormorant Phalacrocorax brasilianus is a medium-sized cormorant found throughout the American tropics and subtropics (see range map). It can be found both at coasts (including some mangrove areas) and on inland waters. The similar Double-crested Cormorant has more yellow around the base of the bill, is larger

I particularly like the bright turquoise iris.
