Anhinga
This is what I patched together from different sources - hope it is correct:
This is the American Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga). There are the closely related African Anhinga (Anhinga rufa), and Oriental (Anhinga melanogaster) darters. The Australasian darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) has been classed as a subspecies of the African or African plus Oriental darters. All four have also been classed as a single species.
From Laura's Birding Blog - Laura Erickson's for the Birds -
As befits a species that feeds on rather large fish, the mouth has to be able to open wide.
I've gotten through several more of the 100 backlogged folders of photos - this from 2021.
Glossy ibis feeding chicks at Ocean City Rookery, a loud and rather violent affair. The light on the birds is not perfect, but the nature story is rather compelling, I think.

Today's pictures are all from Hort Park. Hort Park is a one-stop gardening resource hub that brings together gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting. It also serves as a knowledge centre on plants and gardening, providing planting ideas and solutions, and offering a platform for the horticulture industry to share best practices and showcase garden designs, products and services.
A few week's back the theme for the Crazy Tuesday group was "What Is It?" I was going to make a very small macro image using this speaker but it didn't do it for me. I kept looking at the speaker and the lighting, which was just ambient light making it's way into our living room. I started to think about squared circles and figured a speaker has to be a no-brainer for that format and that it would look pretty cool. I also wanted to shoot it as a focus stack to really get the detail of the full speaker. This shot is the result, a 15 layer stack that IMO is one of the best I've been able to produce. It then became the main subject of my amusement for other images as is often the case!
Thinking out Loud - Ed Sheeran
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

I'm back in the archives and came across this grackle that shows up from time to time. I didn't realize they were so colorful until I uploaded this. They're loud and messy at times but the color makes up for it.
Once again, I hate this time of year in Oklahoma. At 5pm yesterday it was 106 with a heat index of 113 and today the same although I've not ventured out all day. Please hurry Fall!

This colorful tree bark caught my eye while walking in Eastbourne, UK. I dont know what kind of tree it is...maybe sycamore?
On the water reflections rise
Beauty returned back to the skies
Floating serenely with blue behind
A more beautiful sight you never will find
The local Rainbow Lorikeets were loudly warning me off when I went close to the back fence near the neighbours flowering gum. As you can see lots of plain grey skies recently.
Sometimes things get a wee bit loud around here and Gerrie is not happy about that.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover.
