The anhinga is a large bird with a long S-shaped
neck and a long pointed bill. The male has grayish-black
feathers with a greenish shine to them. They have large
wings with silver-white feathers on the top side. Females
have a light tan head, neck and chest and a black stomach. Both
the male and the female have long fan- shaped tail feathers and
sometimes the anhinga is known as the water turkey. The anhinga
has poorly developed oil glands and its feathers aren't as
waterproof as other water birds are. It will perch in a
tree with its wings open to dry its feathers and warm its body.
Anhingas breed off the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast from
North Carolina to Texas and in the Mississippi Valley north to
Kentucky and Missouri. They winter along the Gulf Coast north to
North Carolina. Anhingas can be found in freshwater ponds and
swamps where there is thick vegetation and tall trees.
Using their sharp bills, anhingas spear fish, flip them in the
air and swallow them head-first. Sometimes they spear them
so hard they have to return to shore with the fish still on their
bill, and bang the fish off on a rock.
When anhingas are in their breeding plumage they have a blue ring
around their eyes. The female lays three to five light blue eggs.
The nest is in a tree and it is made of sticks and lined with
leaves. The chicks hatch in about a month.
The anhinga is also known as the snakebird. When it swims,
its body is submerged under the water. It stretches its
head and neck flat out on the surface of the water. Its
head and neck look like a snake gliding through the water.
