Anhinga anhinga

Field Notes
Description:
This Anhinga was apparently just hanging out and posing (or perhaps keeping a sharp eye out for lunch). No matter how much I tried to coax, it just would not spread its wings for a really good picture!
Habitat:
Freshwater and coastal regions. Areas that provide vegetation for nesting, cover, and stalking are preferred. Mangroves grow near the spotting location.
Notes:
The Anhinga is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
