A couple of points on the Anhinga:
1. Lake of the Woods is a gated lake with a guard post at the entrance. I
think you need to be a resident or guest to get access.
2. My view was a fly-over. While I would guess that the bird is somewhere on
the lake, there are a number of coves where it could be.
Before driving a distance, you might wait to see if someone local is able to
find it and make sure you could get access.

Subject: [Va-bird] Anhinga at Lake of the Woods
I visited some friends at Lake of the Woods today and out on the lake an
Anhinga flew by. I observed DC Cormorants as well, but the Anhinga was
different. It had a longer neck, two rectangular white wing patches on the
upper wings, a very thin bill and long tail. It was a brief but clear look.
Our boat was headed one direction and the Anhinga was headed the other.
