Cormorant eye color

[William Malacarne]

I have found that the Brandt's Cormorant has blue eyes. Double-crested Cormorants have green eyes. I think I have seen pictures of one with red eyes, what kind would it be?

TIA

That might be an Anhinga which looks somewhat like a Cormorant. It has silvery white coverts and a longer tail than Cormorants. The neck is also longer. The bill is more like a heron's bill rather than a Cormorant's.

I don't have a picture but thought that I had seen one.

I was starting to think you were right as I looked all over the net and did't come up with any thing but then I found this on BPN.

It is a Reed Cormorant....:)

Usually the eyes are green, but today I shot a Double-crested Cormorant that had blue eyes. First I've ever noticed.
