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.
And that tail !!!
