Description

:note: Interesting Fact:

- Anhingas (also called Snakebirds, Darters, American Darters, or Water Turkeys) do not have oil glands for waterproofing their feathers like most water birds, so when they leave the water, they must spread their wings and dry in the sun.

One thing I like about this shot is that has immediate impact, but also rewards a closer examination. The way the light defines the form of the feathers...and the way the bird almost becomes simply pleasing shapes...
