pelican bay birds: Lunchtime At The Canals Of Pelican Bay - 08/16/07 04:58 PM
 
 
This is an AMERICAN ANHINGA OR SNAKE-BIRD.
 
She has been living (or lived) in a tree by my Century 21 Sundance office for at least the last year, hunting for her daily meals in the pond/canal. She is different from any other water foul I've ever witnessed swim before.
 
 
 

You see, she swims with just her neck and head above the water, (thus the name "Snake-bird") or if she is hunting fish she will be completely immersed as she stalks her prey, hiding amongst the pond muck before striking.
