In full sun like that, I love the soft blue hues on her upper wings and tail feathers which cannot be seen when the bird is standing.

Juvenile cormorant catching some rays. To help them dive deeper after the fish, cormorants don't have the same waterproofing as other waterbirds, as this traps air. .. it does mean that after every dive they need to dry out.
Sheep's Meadow at Central Park.Sheep's Meadow is a 15-acre (60702.8463m^²) preserve in Central Park located in the west side of Manhattan between 66th and 69th streets.It can draw around 30,000 people a day (on a good day I suppose).Back in 1864 the Olmsted and Faux,the designers of the park,added 200 English sheep to this part of the park because they felt it would enhance the English quality of the park.In 1870 a sheep crossing was added where twice a day a shepherd would hold up traffic so that the sheep could cross 🐑

Two mamas with their babies and I assume daddy goat off on his own bluff. Even with their thick fur, they still enjoyed basking in the sunshine. A little far away, but always a treat when you get to see goats! :-)

The African Darters (Anhinga rufa) are also commonly known as Snakebirds - named so for the way their thin, long, snake-like necks are often seen sticking out of the water as the rest of their bodies is submerged, or when mated pairs twist their necks during their bonding displays. These water birds are able to turn, twist and contort their necks in unusual ways.
The name "Darter" alludes to their manner of procuring food, as they impale fishes with their slim, pointed beaks.
They are endemic to tropical sub-Saharan Africa, where they are typically found in or near bodies of both saline and fresh water.
They have very long and sharp beaks, which they use to spear their slippery fish prey.
They are able to retract and extend their necks and maintain the neck retracted during flight - unlike most other long-necked birds
