Anhinga anhinga
The Anhinga dives from the surface of the water and swims slowly underwater stalking fish around submerged vegetation. The diet consists of many small- to medium-sized wetland fishes, with very small amounts of crustaceans and invertebrates. The Anhinga swims lower in the water than many other birds due to its reduced buoyancy—a result of wetted plumage and dense bones.
