Uncommon 'devil bird' sightings reported in Maine.
Lately, anhinga bird sightings have been reported by Maine residents.
According to FOX 23 Maine, some individuals on social media claim to have spotted an anhinga, commonly referred to as the "devil bird," in specific regions.
On July 23, a photo of a winged animal was posted in the "Maine Wildlife" Facebook group by one woman, prompting discussions among group members.

The "devil bird" nickname of the anhinga is derived from the Brazilian Tupi language, as stated on Cornell's website.
Cornell University Ornithology confirmed that anhingas were observed in multiple Maine communities from July 24 to July 26, as reported by different observers.
It's possible that multiple people observed the same bird, which is why there are only 39 birds, according to the representative's email.
According to Maine Audubon Society Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox, as a bunch of birds are already heading south for the winter, this is typically the rarity season, where anything can show up anytime, anywhere.
