Breeding Male ANHINGA! Also called Snakebird due to its habit of appearing like a snake,surfacing with just its head and long thin neck! It skewers fish, a favorite prey, with its long sharp bill. Unlike ducks and other diving birds, its feathers become waterlogged, which helps diving and maneuvering underwater. It strikes a pose when it leaves the water with wings spread to dry in the sun! Spring is here and it is nesting time! (Dallas,Texas USA)
