Fish and birds, then livestock, THEN man (in "our" image).
And as to the verse you cited? You left out the verse before it:
THAT would imply god saw man was alone and THEN the fish and birds and animals. Unless he made all of them and man never saw them until god decided to show them to him just to name them and see if any provided company? That seems a stretch even for interpreting the bible.
