Anhinga anhinga
Anhingas are large birds about 89 cm (35 in) long with a wingspan of over a meter (3.7 ft). Plumage is mostly black tinged with some green on the wings. The tail is black with a tinge of blue with white tips. Wings and back are spotted or striped with white. Females are similar but with duller colors around the head and neck.

Both of these photos were taken on the Anhinga Trail in the Everglades National Park. Lots of people, but the birds were highly habituated to people, which made it a great place to photograph wildlife.
