13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Fresh Catch Of The Day

While on a public dock overlooking a large lake, I saw this Anhinga submerge under the water and seconds later emerge with this fish. This was the first Anhinga with a fish that was close enough for me to photograph. I watched it for a while as it swam to a tree stump even closer to me and hopped up on it and prepared the fish for a meal.
