  1. Is that one of those water turkeys? I think thats what they call them.

  2. The adults have beautiful white feathers. The long tail has given the anhinga the nickname, "water turkey". It is also known as the snake-bird because of its snake-like neck. The female anhinga is easy to spot. Her neck and chest feathers are much lighter in color than the male.
    They have them in the canals in Lake Clarke Shores.

  3. The Anhinga Trail is also the best place to see the anhinga, a goose-sized bird. When it swims, only its snake-shaped neck appears above water. That is so cool to watch!
