Perched Above Still Water
This anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) perched quietly on a dead tree in a pond in west‑central Georgia. I almost missed it because of how well it blended into its surroundings.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"Keep your feathers dry!" - Anhinga
https://www.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.

A singing #anhinga, cormorant, & roseate spoonbill.
This was a "lost photo", taken just as our beloved Google+ was extinguished (4/19)
I never added this to my long-time albums on Flickr, which I am now grateful for having had, as it remained up & running. Many more #birds & #nature photos "there" - along with albums of travel #photography
Links to all that from this Flickr page, where I've finally added this favorite.
Happy Spring!

More Our Local Gem #SweetwaterWetlandsPark...
You can tell this is a male #Anhinga by the completely black neck. You can tell he's young by the downy feathers just behind his head. These will fall out soon and his neck will be completely black.

Anhinga - Drying her wings in the sun.
As they do, and must, after getting wet diving for food. (No oil in their feathers.)
More Anhingas nesting in my "virtual rookery" @ https://www.fenichel.com/anhinga.shtml [and a flock more birds]

Meanwhile, "Down by the River"...
An Anhinga dries her wings in the sun, after some dive-bombing for food
It's what they do, excellent spear-fishers but lacking oil in their wings, so they need to practice "drying before flying".

Pause Between Ripples
Last year in Georgia, I spotted this anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) at a small, secluded pond in Albany. It was the first time I’d seen one up close, so I took dozens of photos—something I tend to do when the setting and subject align just right. Every so often, I share one.
The photographs I share here don’t appear as vivid as they do in my Pixel’s gallery. To make them load more easily, I reduce their size and slightly lower their quality. Take a look:

With its sleek form and intense gaze, the anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) embodies nature's quiet beauty as it perches gracefully above the water. Known as the "snakebird" for its long, curved neck, it offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the wild.

Andy the Anhinga
The staff at Silver Springs State Park in Florida call this anhinga (Anhinga anginga) Andy. He perched at their boat dock and showed little concern for my presence.

Tree-Top Anhinga
This is another photo of an anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) that I saw a few months ago. It is the only anhinga I have seen up close, though I have photographed flocks flying high overhead, looking like little crosses in flight.
My photo gallery contains more than 1,100 images that I've chosen to share. Most are included for their visual appeal, but there are a few novelty images as well. You can check out my gallery at:

I love #Anhingas!
The only bird in the #USA whose common, genus, species and family names are all the same!
They are often confused with #cormorants. They are very similar black waterbirds that dive for fish and spread their wings to dry afterward. Here are five #fieldmarks that will help distinguish between them:
1) Head/neck profile is very "sharp". Cormorants have bigger heads and hooked beaks.
2) Anhingas have a "turkey tail" with distinctive off-white feather tips.
3) Only the mature males are all black. The bird in your photo is either a female or immature.
4) If you get to see them drying their wings, they have beautiful silvery accents on their back and wings.
5) You can easily spot them in the air by their #flight pattern. Unlike cormorants, loons, and similar black waterbirds--they alternate between flapping and short glides. Flap, flap, flap--glide------repeat...
I was also told by a wildlife rescue person that they spear rather than grab their prey and to facilitate this they have small backward-facing barbs on their beaks.
In this photo you can see the upper bill penetrating the fish's tail!
I have no idea what they do with those clawed feet (they seem out of place) but they have always reminded me of the Alien from the #movie #DarkStar!

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 #.)
