I have never been this close to an Anhinga before. He was so close that I looked right past several times. I was just not expecting a big bird to be 15 feet away.
In order to get this full body shot I had to step away it was too close for my lens. They are a nice looking bird when you can get up close and actually see them.

Thanks. Not sure why he let me close, but I’ll take it.

I wish I had thought to note just how close he was when I shot these. These birds never let you get this close. Thanks.

They really are beautiful birds. Graceful in the air and water with feathers almost like fur. Unique to tropical climates but much like the cormorant common in the north.
