This is not the first time I’ve photographed Anhinga on the pilings. There are a number of them in small groups, Anhinga find them a perfect place to perch and dry.
I myself love the colors and shading in the right light here.
Charleston, South Carolina.
They look prehistoric to me 🙂
They are an odd one. Not sure when they migrated here from South America, but it’s been a while. They are 100% local now. I love to photo them when they surface with a fish, all luck for those shots though. This female was getting dry since they have no oil like regular birds, fly like a rock when wet. A biologist I knew called them ‘thugs’, not really big but few challenge them here, except the Alligators.
Beautiful colors and composition, Ted – she’s clearly asleep, eyes closed. The level of detail you pulled off again is just unreal. Stunning shot!
Thanks, again with the OM 100-400 II. Lady and no breeze 😁. A spot I should visit more often, Anhinga are always there. Just a bit of a hike.
A perfect perch, great image! 🙌🏼🤩
Thank you. A nice spot.
