Hans Holbrook and I looked unsuccessfully for the Anhinga this afternoon.  We were both out of state this weekend and (perhaps) missed the opportunity to see this rarely-chaseable overshoot.  As much as I wanted to see it, there was a little part of me that was glad that Hans didn't pass me in the state listing game ;)
 
I stopped by Little Bennett on the way and made a few stops.  Lots of yearbirds at both locations
