This birds habitat was near a lake, at a park. It prefers a warmer environment. It was about 2-3 feet tall. It is a pretty large bird. Has a grey long beak along with a long neck. It is body had blue feathers with white stripes. I believe its an Anhinga because they look very similar. It can be assumed it was a female bird because they have pale neck and a male has a dark or black neck. This organism is a Deuterostome.
