| The Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) is a resident bird of swamps and wetlands of the southeastern United States. It ranges through Mexico and southward into South America. It is an efficient predator and spends much of its time searching for fish. Sometimes all you can see is the head and neck of an Anhinga as it swims through a body of water while hunting. The first two shots shown here were taken in May, 1990, at Loxahatchee N.W.R., Palm Beach Co., Florida, with a Canon T-90 and FD 400 mm F/5.6 lens on Kodachrome 64 film. |  |

| The image on the right was also taken on Sanibel Island, but in December, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300mm F/2.8 L lens and 2X extender. |  |
The next five images were taken on Sanibel Island, Lee Co., Florida, in November, 2006,with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 500 mm F/4 L IS lens.

| The next three shots were taken at Lake Tohopekaliga, Kissimmee, Osceola Co., Florida in February 2007, with the same gear as the preceeding shots. The first show shows a male in flight while the next shot shows a female preening. The third shot is quite illustrative of why this bird is sometimes called "snake bird" since when they are swimming with only the head and neck visible, they do indeed look quite snake-like. |  |
