Description

The body plumage of an Anhinga is so thick and compact that it appears to be clad in fur rather than feathers. As a water bird, the Anhinga spends much of his time in the water with only his head and long neck exposed. Its diet is made up of water snakes, frogs, fish, and baby alligators, Submerging in water it spears its food on his sharp beak and then resurfaces and tosses it into the air and catches it with his big beak and swallows it. The Anhinga nests in trees high in the air and since it was nesting season when I captured this photo it may have been building a nest or already have babies in a nest which it is protecting.
