Anhinga Drying Wings, Florida Everglades

 

An anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) dries its wings near a large pond in the Florida Everglades. The anhinga's feathers do not have protective oils for waterproofing like other birds. That lack of oil allows the anhinga to dive deep for fish, however, it must dry its wings after entering the water in order to fly well.
