against the cloudy sky - the darkness of the Anhinga stood out - thinking he had just caught something - but, it wasn't so - for about 10 minutes he tried to rid himself - of probably fishing line - yet it looked like a Brillo pad - or SOS - he finally managed it - and flew off - edited in: www.picmonkey.com © All rights reserved

the oddest Anhinga position I've ever seen.. © All rights reserved

Anhinga, wing-drying, perched precariously .. perhaps this would equate with trying this balancing act on the head of a ten-penny nail .. SOOC © All rights reserved
