Anhinga with Sunfish - a photo on Flickriver

            Anhinga ~ (Anhinga anhinga)

I was photographing wading birds at water level when this Anhinga breached the surface with a sunfish. It almost appeared to display the catch as a trophy - allowing it glisten in the sunlight for a few seconds before gulping it down. Very easy to see why the Anhinga is colloquially called the 'snake bird'.

Thanks for visiting!
