That's an anhinga.

Agreed, definitely an Anhinga. Neat shot.

I'd love to see an Anhinga. I'm going to Cancun, Mexico next March, do you think I could find one there. If so, please tell me the best place to go to find one, thanks.

Look for ponds and lagoons with large shrubs or trees around the edges. Also, try looking up occasionally -- I'm not sure about the dates for spring migration, but I do know Anhingas migrate in large flocks.

Come to south Florida, they are everywhere, all year round :-)
Those and double crested cormorants too :-)

I see lots of double crested cormrants at my cottage in the summer.

thanks for the ID, it's a new one for me. Just over 100 birds that I have a picture of, and ID from this forum
