Anhinga

This Anhinga Portrait was taken at the Merritt Island National Park near Titusville, Florida. The picture of this Anhinga was photographed with the Canon 5D Mark III Canon 300mm f2.8 IS II with the 2X extender. Anhinga is known as the Water-Turkey for its swimming habits and broad tail, and also as the Snake-Bird for its habit of swimming with just its long head and neck sticking out of the water.
