Bird ID Needed

[DanP]

I'm helping my wife prepare her photo album for a trip to Africa. Knowing there are lots of avid birders on this site, can someone identify this bird taken on the Nile in Uganda. It looks like some kind of cormorant to me, but I can't find any good matches on the internet.

It's an African Snake Bird or Darter. It is related to cormorants.

African Darter, also known as Anhinga

Here in Florida, we call them Anhinga.

The Afirican Snake Bird or Darter is closely related to the Anhinga in Florida. Anhinga is the Brazilian Tupi Language word for Snake Bird. I loved seeing them on my trip to Florida last year, and here are a male and a female spearing a warmouth.(5DSR + 100-400mm II).
