Anhinga Records from Northern Alabama

Published in 1956

Howell’s “Birds of Alabama,” now badly out of date, lists the snakey-necked Anhinga, or Water Turkey, as occurring only in the southern half of the State and gives no positive breeding records. Actually, these birds must occur, at least locally, throughout the State and definitely breed here.
