Per Rob (@robcrank68.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood and the Alt theme is #Grey.
Here's a video I took a few weeks ago of an anhinga tossing the fish in the air and swallowing it head first.
This is a repost.

Two birds sit side by side on the same bare tree branch. On the left is a bright pink roseate spoonbill standing on one leg with its bill tucked under its wing, its eye peeking out from above. On the right is a black and white anhinga with a bright turquoise surrounding its eye and feathers standing straight up on its head.

An Anhinga on an unsually cold South Florida day.
I eventually braved the cold-for-South-Florida weather today & joined the creatures outside. Glad I did.

One of the Anhingas on our neighborhood lake in South Florida. They come here to swim and catch fish.
The Anhingas on our lake catch many fish but also drop a few who manage to escape. Can't win them all.

Australia's version of the Anhinga... Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) on the Murray River. I think this bird is part fish. When you see it at a distance with your bins, it looks like it has a neck with no head. 😄 #BirdingAustralia #anhingas #darters
Happy to have spent some quality time watching this Anhinga on the lake this week. ❤️ 🪶

Took this video this morning of an anhinga tossing a fish so it can swallow it headfirst.

"Feast upon my beauty!" Okay, Anhingas are not known necessarily for their beauty, but those egos! At Wakulla Springs, FL, famous for where the original Creature of the Black Lagoon movie was filmed!

🌎 Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) The anhinga, also known as snakebird or American darter, is a large, dark water bird. Males are glossy greenish-black with silver-white streaking on the wings and back, while females have a paler, tan head and neck. It boasts a long, slender, pointed bill and a long, fan-shaped tail. Anhingas are found in the warmer parts of the Americas, from the southeastern U.S. south through Mexico, Central America, and much of South America. They prefer freshwater habitats like swamps, marshes, and slow-moving rivers, where they can find perches and open water. They are known as "snakebirds" due to their habit of swimming with only their head and S-shaped neck above water, they spear fish with their sharp bills. Their feathers are less waterproof than other waterbirds, so they often perch with wings outstretched to dry in the sun. They soar gracefully on thermals and typically nest colonially. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by JimDegerstrom via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/anhinga-wings-drying-bird-2501457/ QFEE
