Anhinga babies

[gluwater]

These guys were a pretty good distance out so these are crops but I still find them interesting. It's the first time I've seen Anhinga chicks before and got to see them get fed by the adults. They stick their entire neck down the adults throat. So here they are in all their cutesness, or not.

Neat set Nick. :thumb Where were these taken? I don't think the anhingas or cormorants , locally, have chicks yet? :scratch The osprey are close..as they have been sitting on the eggs for days now. Woot. :ivar :barb

Very good shots of a rare event.

Since anhinga's are about as beautiful as a wood stork, they dont get much press.

Not cute enough like Harry's squirrels.

I don't see the second picture of some reason, but if it's as good as the first I get the idea. Well done Nick. :thumb :thumb :thumb

Hey Mike, this was at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. There seemed to be all ages of Anhinga, from newly born to adolescents.

What's wrong with the wood storks? They really do have a face only a mother could love, don't they!

At one point it looked like the momma was eating the baby, it had it's entire head and neck down it's throat.
