Anhinga drying its wings

An impressive bird and a wonderful capture.

Thank you very much, micritter.

was it really sitting there with its wings out?

this is a wonderful photo - great composition with the bird not in the sweet spot, but heading that way!

i'd love to have this photo in my group 'naturey crap - crappy nature' (name explained on group page) if you are so inclined.

fyi - i came across you and this photo via a comment you made to Andy about his time perspective being off in regards to the rocks changing or not. made me laugh!

Yes, anhingas don't dry very well. I guess their feathers aren't very oily. So, after they dive into the water to catch, something, they need to go sit in the top of a tree to dry off before the next dive. I'll put this photo in your group. (Andy admitted to not being serious about the unchanging rocks.)

thanks for adding to my group! and what a fascinating bird - hope they don't live in a rain forest - ha!

Phenomenal capture !!!!!!!!

Thank you so much, Marie-claire.
