| This very distant (approximately 1/2 mile) shot shows the pair of adult Anhingas that were present at Mud Lake, Shelby County, Tennessee, on August 13, 2006, along with two immature birds. This is quite a gathering of Anhingas in Tennessee. |

| This is one of two immature Anhingas along with two adults that were seen at Mud Lake, Shelby County, Tennessee, on August 13, 2006. Though tough to tell from this angle, from the back the young birds had limited gray instead of extensive while markings on the upperparts. |
