Interesting, ....An American Kestrel, (Falco sparverius) ...... different colouring to the European Kestrel, (Falco tinnunculus) but of course similar as are the African and Asian relatives .. was the perch "bated" with a mouse
I believe your Cormorant is an American Darter, (Anhinga anhinga), Dale, it is a Darter with a common name of Snake-Bird, and as you indicate is related to cormorants and (shags) ... the order of Phalacrocoracidae
Here's the African Darter, (Anhinga rufa), for comparison

Our birdfeeders don't only attract lovely song- or gardenbirds. In winter they unfortunately(?) also attract one or two Sharpshinned Hawks (could also be Cooper's Hawks - it's really hard to tell them apart).
Guess they have to live as well - but the squirrels don't like the hawks sitting in "their" tree. (I once saw a squirrel go after a hawk, to chase the hawk away )
On sunday I spotted two squirrels sitting on the fence - looking worried... and of course the hawk was there again... This time I caught it with a fresh catch...

Second from Costa Rica is a Black headed Trogon (sounds like an alien from Star Wars!).

And last from Costa Rica, a gorgeous bird: Turquoise browed Motmot. For the Aussies in the group, this is a colourful kookaburra sized bird with two vastly extended tail feathers. Not quite as common as the kookaburra though... it is amazing how these bright colours disappear into a dappled sunlit forest. All photos with the EM5 MkII, Oly 75-300 lens. Still trying to nail a good hummingbird shot....!

You have these in zoos??? Colour me amazed. They are so common around here. There are two that live in my street, in fact I think most streets in the area have two pairs or more (and many territorial disputes). They are fascinating birds, and excellent parents of their babies.
