   "The loud, buzzing, clicking sounds of an Anhinga call that resembles a little like a croaking frog with a sore throat or a revving outdoor string trimmer (weed eater)."

Spectrogram of anhinga vocalization, Everglades National Park, Florida. Spectrograms are graphs that visualize sounds. The brightness of the colors shows sounds’ amplitude (loudness) across different frequencies (pitches), shown from bottom to top, and over time, from left to right. This spectrogram visualizes the anhinga's unique series of lower-pitched croaks
