Jul 16, 2021 | AF-S 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR, Anhinga, Nikon 1 V1, Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri
Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Anhinga The Anhinga actually swims underwater using its wings with just its head and neck out of the water. It has a wingspan of about 4 feet and ranges between 32 to 36 inches in length. Their preferred diet is fish, but will also eat water snakes, tadpoles, frog eggs and young alligators. Of course, at Everglades NP, they too could be prey to alligators. As in this image, the Anhinga can be glamorous too.
The Back Story Sometimes you just get lucky. Capturing the reflection of the clouds in the water with a bit of backlight was too good to pass up. It definitely made the entire hike worthwhile. This image shows the versatility of the Nikon 1 V1 and 70-300mm lens combination on a nature hike. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

The Anhinga actually swims underwater using its wings with just its head and neck out of the water. This image show it drying its wings. They’ll stand in this position for quite some time. It’s hard to see from this image, but the Anhinga has a wingspan of about 4 feet and ranges between 32 to 36 inches in length. Their preferred diet is fish, but will also eat water snakes, tadpoles, frog eggs and young alligators. Of course, in the Everglades, they too could be prey to alligators.
