Anhinga Drying Its Wings (Anhinga anhinga)
Naples Botanical Gardens
60 Acre Wildlife Reserve
Naples, FL
I took this image of the anhinga drying it's feathers sitting on a branch out in the middle of a lake. This is a different bird than the one I showed yesterday.
Anhinga species are found all over the world in warm shallow waters. The American anhinga has been subdivided into two subspecies, A. a. anhinga and A. a. leucogaster, based on their location. A. a. anhinga can be found mainly east of the Andes in South America and also the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. A. a. leucogaster can be found in the southern United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Grenada. A fossil species Anhinga walterbolesi has been described from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene of Australia.
