anhinga

Last summer, a few anhingas, a species of water bird that is more common in the lower portions of southern states, as well as Mexico and South America, spent some time at the wetlands.

In the summer, it can be crowded with visitors, but for several hours on this December morning, it was only us and an infinity of cormorants, anhingas, herons and other birds perched in the leafy trees that edge the springs.

Pelecaniformes (pelicans, tropicbirds, cormorants, frigatebirds, anhingas, gannets).
