Male Anhinga At Lake Woodruff NWR

This is from a previous trip a couple of years ago to Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge in DeLand Florida. We saw quite a few female Anhingas, but we only saw this one male Anhinga preening on a branch and just hanging out there. Usually there are lots of them, but not on this visit.

  Thanks Eliza! They are interesting birds! They fish under water so they are fun to watch and catch a fish!

  Thanks so much Donna! Lake Woodruff NWR is an interesting place to photograph! It never seems to be crowded like other NWRs. Over the years we have seen a wide variety of birds there. One year there were a couple of Whopping Cranes flying with the Sandhill Cranes so they were fun to photograph. Plus very interesting landscapes!
