This afternoon I went by Eagle Lake Refuge and found an adult male Anhinga. 
The bird came to the surface infrequently but was successful twice while I 
was there. One fish caught was a nice size drum and I did not see what the 
other fish was before it slipped down the hatch. Every other time the bird 
surfaced without a fish it would be carrying a stick with a small knot on one 
end. I could not be for sure that it was the same stick each time but it 
always looked the same. Figure that one out?? 

Good Birding!!!
