Anhingha resting in a tree along the Anhinga Trail at the Royal Palm Visitor Center in Florida.l #308796103
Description
Pictured is a male anhingha resting in a tree alongside the Anhinga Trail near the Royal Palm Visitor Center in the Everglades National Park in Florida. The binomial name is Anhinga anhingha. It is also called the snakebird, American darter, or water turkey. The origin of the name is apparent when the bird is swimming. Only the neck appears above water, so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike.
