Yesterday afternoon, I looked out the window after hanging up the phone from a stressful conversation, and I saw this marvellous anhinga. They are an interesting bird. There is something about the composition of their feathers that makes them need to sit in the sun like this for some time after getting wet so they can dry those big wings.
I love anhingas. When they are really healthy and big, they look like super lux black velvet with kind of a greenish oil slick or iridescent cast. This guy looks like he might have suffered some kind of insult around the top part of his neck. Maybe he had a bad week.
