Water Turkey



Also known as the snake bird, this Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) is a common swamp bird. We spotted this guy in the Louisiana bayou (see the other entry on the shirtpocket blog). However, they do occur in Arkansas, but I have never seen one. It is a graceful flyer, soaring like a turkey vulture, but swims with only its head above water.
