ANHINGA OR 'SNAKE BIRD', NAPLES BOTANICAL GARDEN, NAPLES, FLORIDA, 11/21/2023

   One of the Anhinga's nicknames is Snake Bird.  This because of its long neck and the necks slim profile when it swims submerged and only its head and neck are out of the water.  This can be seen in the first two photos.
