Whenever I visit the park across the street from my condo, I always expect to see anhingas perched on their favorite spots. I recently shot the first one as I started my walk. Nearly two hours later, on my return, I shot the second one.

Sorry, Lillian. I have no clue why you don't see them. Maybe later.

They're still hiding up here, haven't seen the first one since I've been doing the bird thing for the last 5 years. Nice shots Stan.

Now I see them Stan. They were certainly worth the wait!

Thanks, Sharon. I don't know how far north they range, but I never saw them when I lived in Jacksonville.

Good shots Stan. Exposure is always a bit of a challenge on these guys but you nailed it.

Their wing drying routine really gives a great look at their feather patterns... interesting poses and nice shots Stan.
