I know that I’ve mined this series pretty heavily, but couldn’t resist the #Abstract alt-theme
An #Anhinga pumping its way across a pond disturbed the surface to provide the rippled reflections of the #BlueSky and the verdant surroundings
I edited liberally for artistic effect

Per Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GreyDay any bird with grey in their plumage, any bird photographed in rain or with a grey background. The alt is #Abstract #Anhinga #birds #waterbird #wildlife #photography #Florida #Lake #nature #outdoors #thelittlethings #photohour #EastCoastKin
Anhingas are sort of like cormorants with longer necks, longer tails, and a dagger-like bill. They swim with their body submerged and “pump” their head back and forth as part of their swimming motion. This shot is a profile silhouette, complete with a near-perfect reflection and sumptuous, dappled pond surface. Hope you enjoy!
Hi BirdSkyers! Sorry for the absence — I’m recovering from a molar extraction and doing fine now.
Anywho, here’s an unconventional offering for today’s #HeadShots theme for #BirdOfTheDay
The head in this case is that of an #Anhinga, sometimes called “snake bird”. See ALT for a bit more

#BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #WingsOpenNotFlying. A male #anhinga drying his wings. Also fits the alt theme of #black&white. #birds #snakebird #floridabirds #water
An anhinga is perched on top of a bush with green leaves and bright red berries surrounding it. Its wings are fully outspread to dry out, and it looks up and to the right. Behind are green trees catching the light of the morning sun.
Good morning! Here's an anhinga drying out its wings for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay themes today. 🌞

A large bird sits on a thick horizontal branch with its back to the camera. Its head is turned sideways, and the beak is open. Looks like it is laughing a bit. Behind is bright green blurry foliage.

Male Anhinga Sunning

La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Blue eye ring signifies breeding season. They sun like this as they lack the "waterproofing" other waterbirds have so they get waterlogged diving for food.

The same anhinga has tossed the fish into the air and is getting ready to catch it and eat it. The same bit of lake grass is still wrapped around the beak.
Whoops, I guess it was actually #CollectingFood, not #GatheringFood 😀

An anhinga has its head and neck poking out of the water, and has a small green fish speared on both sides of its beak. There's a small bit of pond grass wrapped through the opening formed by them and dangling back into the rippled blue water.
Was lacking inspiration this morning picking out a photo to post, so I went outside with my camera instead. Captured this dude #GatheringFood for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today. 😎

The anhinga, species name, Anhinga anhinga....anhinga... anhinga anhinga anhinga? It's a swamp bird that's confusing for out-of-towners to spell, all right? They don't have nostrils, which makes it easier to not drown when diving underwater for fish. #birds #anhinga #wildlife
Pond Abstract with Swimming Bird
Another in my #swimming #Anhinga series, but this is really about light, colors, and reflecting water surfaces, captured in an instant.

I implied some more #Anhinga shots would follow my first #bird posting today.
So, this is a late offering for the #WaterBirds #BirdOfTheDay theme
I decided to reframe and reduce the light to deepen the #blue of the #pond #surface. I like the artsy feel, but am not sure it will be popular

"The Anhinga, also called the "snakebird" or "water turkey," is a large, dark waterbird with a long, S-shaped neck and a pointed bill, found in the warm parts of the Americas, especially the southeastern U.S. It hunts by spearing fish underwater, swimming with only its neck visible, and then flipping the fish into the air to swallow it headfirst. Males are black with silver wing patches, while females have a pale brown head and neck, and both dry their wings by perching with them spread out." Google

For the #BirdOfTheDay today, which is #BackyardBirds with #LongNecks as the alternate.
These anhingas aren't exactly backyard birds but they are so common around here that I usually see one or two of them on my photo walks.
They definitely have long necks though 😁
