| 説明 | Okefenokee Swamp Park, Waycross, Georgia.The next day it was still raining, and it rained all day. Normal people would have stayed indoors.But no ... we drove up to Georgia, to the Okefenokee Swamp.The entry to the Park includes a boat trip ... although we appeared to be the only two visitors that day, they still ran it. It was brilliant ... and really wet and swampy!The entrance also included talks and demonstrations by park staff. Again ... just for the two of us.The anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), sometimes called snakebird, darter, American darter, swamp turkey, or water turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word anhinga comes from a'ñinga in the Brazilian Tupi language and means "devil bird" or "snake bird". The origin of the name is apparent when swimming: only the neck appears above water so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike. They do not have external nares (nostrils) and breathe solely through their epiglottis.Anhinga species are found all over the world in warm shallow waters. The American anhinga has been subdivided into two subspecies, A. a. anhinga and A. a. leucogaster, based on their location. A. a. anhinga can be found mainly east of the Andes in South America and also the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. A. a. leucogaster can be found in the southern United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Grenada. |
