Anhinga on top of a trimmed palm tree
American darter
Pato aguja americano
L‘Anhinga d'Amérique
Biguatinga
Amerika-Schlangenhalsvogel
or water turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word anhinga comes from a'ñinga in the Brazilian Tupi language and means "devil bird" or "snake bird". The origin of the name is apparent when swimming: only the neck appears above water, so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike.
