Anhinga Male and Female Comparison
Here is a beautiful male Anhinga preening, and beginning to sport some flashy breeding plumage on its head. Soon he’ll have a bright blue ring surrounding his eye for the ladies!

“Someone watching me?”
The female Anhinga looks quite different with her tan head & neck, a black belly, and darker brown feathers on its back.
Immatures of both sexes look like the female so many times can be confusing on which they are. So I’m not going to guess on this next photo.
