Can anybody give an explanation why anhingas soar?
I live in South Florida not far from the Everglades.
I've been working from home since Covid. I take "binocular breaks" in which I go out in my yard and stand under a shade tree with bins and look around for a few minutes a few times a day.
I look up for soaring birds and flyovers, and I think I am more likely to see an anhinga, or two, or three, way up there soaring around than anything else (e.g. black vultures).
Are the anhingas maybe scanning the lakes and canals below for fish? Do they have some other purpose for this activity?
