Description
This is a female Anhinga. The brown neck is the key ID, as the male has a black neck. They fish underwater and when they surface, only the neck shows for a few seconds before they are back underwater chasing their next meal. The underwater �fishing� soaks the feathers and when they are done they sit with their wings spread to dry out their feathers. They are about 35 inches (89cm) long with a wingspan of 45 inches (114cm). They have very similar habits to the Cormorants. Taken at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, February 2nd.

I often see these soaring high in the skies....they like to drift on the air currents like the Vultures. Nice shot.

Capital capture of another species of avian I never heard of before, sitting atop all those sharp and spikey branches, Dana. Actually, it looks like a Cormorant, which the Japanese use for fishing.

This is amazing! I love her poise, it's so dramatic so pronounced, so utterly captivating! Great sense of color and mood as well and yeah, the drama is rich and engaging...at least I see this as dramatic: it's her pose mostly, but also the branches and how their shapes and her shape are similar in some ways, but so completely different. This is really great work!

This is a fantastic shot! I've been thinking of using this bird in my next picture. You've captured what I consider the most beautiful feature of this lovely creature, it's gracefulness. What a beautiful pose you've captured. Excellent shot. Thanks.

Now this is one birs I was able to capture. Maybe because it couldn't fly away. This is a great capture. And she is not looking up, she is just posing for you.
