While I was walking down the dike the Anhinga on an Old Wharf Piling went for a swim. Just as I came back he was drying off.

I like the third photo very much, where his wings are stretched and his tail is curling.
Thanks, Greta! Isn’t it amazing how they can move their tails like that!
Beautiful shot of the cormorants !!
Thanks, Isabel, glad that you liked this fellow. It is an Anhinga, they are similar looking to Cormorants. The big difference in look is that the Anhinga has a straight bill he uses to stab his food, and the Cormorant has a hooked beak.
Nice motion shots of the anhinga Ellen. They’re fascinating, these ‘snake birds’. I like them so much that they’re right up there with the spoonies for me, i.e. among my top favs from what you and Ted post!
Thanks, Liz! They are really neat birds, so glad that you like them, too!
