Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) Anhingas (Anhingidae)
dk: Amerikansk Slangehalsfugl es: Anhinga Americana
	23 (2 photos) 2009-04-28 Estero Ría Lagartos, Yucatán (Yuc), Mexico Subspecies: leucogaster Female type. Not sure if different types of tail feathers indicate younger bird.
	714 (1 photos) 2012-04-07 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Subspecies: leucogaster Male with black neck. Probably a younger bird since it has white neck feathers. The adult has complete black neck. Characteristic way of swimming with only the head and neck above the water like a snake.
	713 (1 photos) 2012-04-21 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Subspecies: leucogaster Young male. You see the beginning black neck which indicates a male.
	711 (1 photos) 2012-05-12 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Subspecies: leucogaster Juvenile. Still with down on breast and neck. A scarce breeding species in the estuary.
	712 (1 photos) 2012-05-12 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Subspecies: leucogaster Pullus. It appears there is a certain dispersion what breeding time is concerned. This young is much younger than the bird on photo 711. Could it be a response to limited space in the breeding colony?
