Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga)

Photographed the Anhinga drying it's feather on a dead tree trunk in the Banana Creek Marsh alongside the Alligator Alley trail located in the Circle B Bar Reserve in the City of Lakeland in Polk County Florida U.S.A.

 

Anhingas are large and slender waterbirds with long fan like tails that resemble a turkey's tail. They have a long S-shaped neck and a dagger like bill. In flight, Anhingas look like a flying cross; the wings are held out flat and the neck and tail stick straight out. They have slim bodies and look rather flattened in flight.
