anhinga

A wildlife photograph showing an anhinga perched on a log with its wings spread to dry, taken in soft morning light with the bird mirrored in calm water below, is drawing attention from birding and nature photography enthusiasts. The snake-like waterbird, common in the American Lowcountry, is known for spreading its feathers after swimming since it lacks waterproof plumage.

Wildlife photographers are sharing an image of an anhinga surfacing, showing the water bird's distinctive long neck emerging above the surface. The anhinga, sometimes called a snakebird, is known for swimming with its body submerged and only its neck visible. Nature photography enthusiasts are engaging with the shot as part of ongoing bird and wildlife photography sharing.
