I admit that one of these birds (the brown one) looked like a juvenile double-crested cormorant to me, but it lacks the hooked tip on the beak that the cormorant should have, and does.
So they are both anhingas, I believe.
Whyever is this bird nicknamed the snakebird, do you think?
No hooked beak.
The canonical pose, drying its wings.

Veteran Tom Boneham, 100, reflects on his time as part of the 30 A-U, a secret WWII unit. Boneham, who has lived in Canada since 1952, was one of the 35 original members of the top secret commando unit created by James Bond author Ian Fleming. https://globalnews.ca/news/9591437/the-last-commando-turns-100/
I want to live in a country, and a city, where I can afford to buy a house and raise a family, and where it's safe to walk down the street or use public transit. I feel like it's a reasonable expectation, and yet in so many places across Canada this feels like it's slipping away.
627 @JonathanWNV @PattyHajdu Mar 29 and there are 32 long term advisories, 25 short term advisories, and an additional 21 advisories in BC. 2 more short term advisories added in as many days. FNMI people deserve better. Especially as we are 2 years after your promised fix date.
