Anhingas also soar, which I can’t say I’ve ever seen a cormorant do.

All,
Anhingas in flight tend to flap a few times, then glide. Flap-flap-glide,
flap-flap-glide... and their long tails are distinctive vs. cormorants.
These would be the two primary field marks for flyover Anhinga. Breast
pattern varies depending on plumage and light, and is a good character, but
The Colorado Birds Records Committee also accepted a documented
sighting of an Anhinga, from Barr Lake State Park, Adams County, May
3, 2003. If anyone happens to see one in Colorado again, get a good
photo, and let us all know.
Thanks,
