We have a bird of the same genus (Anhinga) in the US, too, but I have never seen one in the wild. I've heard they are common in the Florida penninsula, but I never saw one while I lived there. They are such magnificent-looking birds and you got some excellent shots! 😃
Thank you my friend and glad that you also have some over there.
They are solitary birds in the wild here that can often be seen in the company of heron's and cormorants. Solitary in the sense that one male will commandeer an area and no other darter dares to enter it.
Experts in catching their prey.
Hope that you have a nice weekend.
Blessings!
