(Anhinga anhinga)
When nature presents something wonderful, something transitory, to you, there can be no hesitation. Such moments will likely never repeat themselves.
While driving home today, we notices a Great-blue Heron and an Anhinga on the edge of the lagoon in our backyard. The heron was in a normal vertical stance, but the Anhinga was drying out its wings. I ran into the house for the camera, and, in a very stealthy manner, attempted to get into a position at the water’s edge. The Anhinga was obviously aware of me and somewhat annoyed as it moved its head rapidly from side to side. But, it didn’t change its position. I found a good spot where it was visible beneath the limbs of a tree, and nearly in line with the sun. This is the best of about a dozen frames. And all while standing on one foot.
