Golden Gate Weir No. 1 as seen in Naples Florida looking upstream |
Both dive under the water's surface, i.e. swim, to catch their prey. Usually the clue for me is that anhinga's are found on freshwater bodies of south Florida and comorants in the salt. The
catch here is the location. Behind the structure in the background is freshwater and in front where the bird is swimming is the brackish-tasting estuarine ebb and flow side. For that reason, my guess is comorant.
I would
flip a coin if it was roosting on the structure itself.
