Anhinga
(Anhinga anhinga)
Photographed in Harry Lu Gardens, Orlando, Florida, by Karen Billings
This was photographed on January 25, 2009. It is beginning to acquire breeding plumage which can be seen in the blue around the eye. In this very interesting picture you can also see how the tail is fanned out behind the bird while most of the bird is under water.
