Picture of the Day September 25th, 2008

Anhinga View Species info in a new window drying his feathers. Other than most Water Birds – the Anhinga has no oils to repel water. So – after each dive, he has to take a timeout to dry…

Still busy (not complaining) so I will lag a little in commenting!

    I missed this funny looking guy! His wings look inadequate for the rest of him in this photo! What a character he looks!

    How inconvenient for the poor bird! I guess they don’t know life any differently, so it’s not so bad. But if I were one, I might notice the other birds not needing to take the time to dry off!

    I love Anhingas, and the lighting in this is great – really highlights his face and bill. What time was it when you took this?

  14. Another bird I had never heard of. Amazing! Can’t really say stunning, your photo is, but the bird, not so much. :) Kinda an ugly thing, isn’t he.
