Distinguishing info needed

[edit]

It would be great to see information on how they can be visually distinguished from Oriental Darters. 99of9 03:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bird of Pakistan

[edit]

Category: Birds of Pakistan was recently added to this article, surely that would be Oriental Darter? Aviceda talk 02:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Darter - anhinga melanogaster.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 4, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-04-04. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 20:25, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Australasian Darter
The Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) is a species of bird in the darter family, which also includes the American, African, and Oriental darters. Darters are also known as snakebirds, which refers to the snake-like appearance of the neck when they swim with their bodies submerged. Australasian Darters are typically found in freshwater or brackish wetlands in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.Photo: Fir0002

Are they really found in New Zealand? I Don't think so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.199.194.235 (talk) 05:05, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tasmania

[edit]

The article says they are not found in Tasmania... but the distribution map shows tasmania fully colored in as part of the distribution (New Zealand, too). ". Aapold (talk) 16:12, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
