This beautiful Anhinga or Snake bird was drying its plumage after swimming along a canal at the Everglades National Park. I like to think it was posing for me!

Amazing, Ileana.
Do the feathers on the back of its neck always stick up like that?

‘Hi Vicki! …good question. I have photographed others anhinga in the past, and don’t recall its hair sticking up. Here is a link with more details about this bird. It is beautiful and fun to watch!

Thanks for the link Ileana. I notice one of the images on the link looks just like our Australian Darter with it’s wings drying in the sun.
