Anhingas - Parent, Chicks and a Visiting Cousin

Thursday's Challenge - "Relationships"

There's no getting around it--these birds are snakes with feathers and beaks.
The parent just bit the visitor who was trying to harm the babies. You can see the drops on his beak. The visitor is from a nest nearby and is a half grown anhinga.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

I think they are beautiful birds..maybe home robbers but beautiful birds. I met you, Coleen, in Lafreniere Park on Thursday afternoon. You gave me your site information. Just wanted to say hello. Hello.
