Artist's Description
A young Anhinga celebrating his success at fishing. This bird dives in the water and skewers the unsuspecting fish. When he came out of the water he was soaking wet, and the fish was still fighting him. I watched as the bird moved the fish around until it was able to swallow it whole.
