Great timing . . . but I think that it is a Cormorant?

I think you are right. I was thinking it is the anhinga that has the hooked beak and the cormorant the straight beak, but it is the opposite. I have edited my post title accordingly.

Thank you! The D500 makes it so much easier to get a good shot.  I thought my previous camera, the D7000, was  a great camera. But compared to the D500, it is a dinosaur.

Fantastic shot with perfect timing!
