Apparently, I am avian-challenged, never having heard of this bird before (or of Nikki's "Thick Knee" entry on the 1st.) You all teach me something new all the time.

However, I do know that any bird found in an image by Kathy Reeves is going to be seen in the best possible light. This one is as beautifully shot as all of your others. Congratulations on the POTD. #10019587

Great capture of this Anhinga duck, Kathy! These make a difficult subject, since they are not really attractive (at least the brownish females), but you got a great angle here which makes it look all the opposite... Congratulations! #10019816
