  1. "Keep your feathers dry!" - Anhinga

    youtube.com/watch?v=u4C0cOrocu0

    "Dance like an Anhinga" - AKA the "snake bird". Diving and swimming pro. But...

    Without oil in its feathers to waterproof, once wet, it is weighed down, and no more flying until dry.

    So... it' sunning time. Like this here.

    Similar to solar cells and many humans, Anhingas appreciate a nice sunny day.

  2. Chasing away the winter chill with thoughts of past summer days … this Anhinga was a very accommodating model from the top of their long neck to the tips of their wicked talons. (Edit to correct #.)

  7. A Double-Breasted #Cormorant, covered in black #feathers and perched on a #mangrove #bush looks towards and over the camera.
    Behind it, another #bird in the bush, an #anhinga sits watching the cormorant.
    The mangrove #swamp at #Merritt #Island National #Wildlife #Refuge is home to many species of #waterfowl and other wildlife.

  8. #Anhinga also known as the Snake Bird. One of my Favorites!

    Note this is the only bird (in #NorthAmerica at least) where the common, genus, species, family names are all the same! 🙂

  9. Took this photo of an anhinga in 2007 at a park in Orlando. Called snake
    birds as they resemble snakes while swimming through the water looking for food. Their feathers are not waterproof, so it's common to see them perched with wings spread to dry them out (as seen here).
