The Amercan Ahninga or Darter is a really interesting species that I have rarely seen close up. Today at the Morikami Japanese Garden in itself an amazing and gorgeous place, we were viewing the Koi pond when right in front of us, only 3 feet away, an Anhinga appeared with a trophy Sun Perch skewered on it’s beak. Without any care for the gathering hord watching nature upfront and in the raw, it beat the fish to death on a rock before throwing back it’s head and swallowing it whole………….wow! I grabbed Jenny’s point and shoot and snapped a whole series of shots of the event.
