"J'ai FAIM !!!"
Baby birds are ALWAYS hungry, and baby Anhingas are no exception. This nest-full of baby Anhingas were relentlessly squawking and bobbing their heads in the direction of their mother (with the yellow bill). But she remained aloof...she was waiting for the male to return with dinner. No matter which way she turned, the babies insistently leaned to her. Eventually the male returned and first fed the female, who in turn fed her babies.
Seen at Shark Valley, Everglades National Park, Florida.
(Note: Had to darken and desat. the brown background to highlight the Anhingas)
