Very cool to see how they look when they're swimming underwater. Especially the Anhinga, with the pointed neck/head and little fast and furious feeties. "Go feeties, go!!!" :D Not sure why anybody would give this a thumbs down.
great video, we have those Water Turkeys or Florida Turkeys, as they are called here, in water off our back yard. The blue males are pretty birds when they get out of the water and spread their wings to dry off.
We have one at the lake in our apartment complex. I always watch the bird everyday when i walk my dog and sometimes he swims for 1 minute straight. Incredible specimen.
I once saw an anhinga at the park. It was swimming underwater. It was so fast that it wasn't easy to take a picture of it! Besides, for some reason, I thought that was an anhinga, but it wasn't after all for me. I thought it was a cormorant.
Interesting. The two birds have different ways of swimming. One alternating it's paddling motion and the other moving both of it's feet in sync.
The second one learned from The Man from Atlantis

The anhinga travels in 3 worlds, a messenger to Xibalba. Wonderful grace.
Very neat! I wonder if any zoos have exhibits of anhingas displayed in the way penguins are displayed, with big glass-sided pools of water.
When I saw the Anhinga swimming, in my head I was playing the music from Phineas and Ferb that goes "doo bee doo bee doo bah doo (repeat)"
The anhinga’s neck looks so strange. Apparently they have one extra long vertebrae in their neck to help them spear food.
That is why they are called snake birds.
great video,

Blue? I lived in Orlando for eight months and saw both males and females all the time, yet none of them had blue plumage. Are you sure?
Maybe you mean little blue herons?
Great footage these birds look a bit like cormorants. Many thanks.
Anhinga is the better swimmer.
pretty fast for foot swimmers, conversely razorbills are about one step away from being penguins with their wings underwater
Simply beautiful video! With your permission and proper crediting, could I use this video for the wikipedia article on these birds?

This is a great video. Thanks for uploading! Btw, I'm pretty sure the second bird is a double crested cormorant.
What a great video. I must go and do that swim someday. I agree with UlfGator1; the second bird's swimming motions are much different, aren't they.
I was about to ask where do you see a second bird?!?!? But then I played it back and was like never mind
this is brilliant
Incredible
Great birds!
Impresionante... 👌👌
Nice! The second bird is a Double-crested Cormorant though.
True. second bird is a Double-crested Cormorant!

Anhinga Bird Eating Fish - video of an anhinga eating a fish!

Birds are better at being fish than fish.

What an
Odd bird
they are also surprisingly good flyers. Good enough buoyancy to dive like this yet light enough to fly, and pretty efficiently [unlike chickens].
Actually heavy for their size. They have "heavy" bones and here in NH can weigh about 14-16 pounds.

Sir you spelled underwater wrong it's u n d e r not u d e r
The anhinga looks so much more threatening
