Wildlife. Close up of American Bittern. ANHINGA TRAIL - "Located in Royal Palm Hammock near the Homestead entrance, is one of the most popular wildlife shows in the park. From the paths and bridge-like boardwalks of the swampy trails, visitors are promised views of droves of alligators basking in the sun as well as the beautiful long-tailed anhinga, a skilled 'fisherman,' feasting on the profusion of freshwater fish that fill the watery sloughs of the Royal Palm area."
Anhinga with fish speared on beak
Everglades National Park; National Park Service
Close up of Anhinga with a fish on it's beak. No. 2 caption reads: "Sometimes the bird drives its beak into an oversized bream so hard that the mandibles are spread and no amount of head shaking can loosen the fish. In this case, the anhinga, with head pointed vertically, will swim to the nearest shore and hook the fish loose on a rock or branch."
