Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) 👇 The Anhinga is the silent hunter of warm wetlands, moving through water with a grace that feels almost prehistoric. With its long, snake-like neck and sharp, dagger-shaped bill, it swims so low that only its head and neck rise above the surface—earning it the name “snakebird.” Perched on branches after a dive, it spreads its wide, dark wings to dry in the sun, creating a striking silhouette against the sky. In the water, it stalks fish with slow patience before strik

As nature observers, we often see the Anhinga, also known as the snake bird, emerging from the water with a fish or perched and drying its wings, but this clip that I captured with my GoPro provides a unique overhead view of it stalking fish. #wildlifephotography #wildlife #birdphotography #anhinga #naturephotography #nature #birding #floridaphotographer #outdoors #birdwatching #gopro | Images By John Delhotal
