Reason not to litter
Anhinga (Anhinga-anhinga):
This is a good reason not to litter, birds are curious creatures and may think your trash is food. This Anhinga was trying to eat what appears to be a piece of trash that was thrown into the water, shown in this photo and the next two. This became stuck on his beak and I do not know how long it took him or if he ever was able to remove it. Over a week or so later I heard others at Green Cay talking about this bird. So next time, don't litter, it could cost some of nature's most beautiful creatures thier life.
