ing in the air above. In all this array
of bird life there is no more curious
and interesting creature than the wa
ter turkey, which Is sometimes called
the snake bird.
As the stranger gazes upon TINS
scene he is sometimes apt to think he
sees queer snake wriggling out of
the water several feet into the air.
If he grabs his gun and fires it is
probable that a part of the supposed
snake will drop upon the water, while
tho other part takes wing and flies
away
The stranger wonder whether the
snake dropped the bird or the bird the
snake. The explanation is quite sim
pie, A snake bird, or water turkey
(Piotua anhinga), swimming with its
long neck only out of the water, had
the snake in it's bill and the snake
was dropped when the gun was fred.
The water turkey has been called
the most preposterous bird within the
range of ornithology He is not a
bird" says one authority. he is a
neck, with such subordinate rights,
members, appurtenances and heredita'
ments thereunto appertaining as seem
necessary TO that end He has just
enough stomach to arrange nourish-
ment for his neck, just enough wings
to fly painfully along with his neck,
and just enough legs to keep his neck
from dragging on the ground; and his
neck is light colored, while the rest OF
him is black"
