🌎 Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga)

The anhinga, also known as snakebird, or American darter, is a large, dark water bird. Males are glossy greenish-black with silver-white streaking on the wings and back, while females have a paler, tan head and neck. It boasts a long, slender, pointed bill and a long, fan-shaped tail. Anhingas are found in the warmer parts of the Americas, from the southeastern U.S. south through Mexico, Central America, and much of South America. They prefer freshwater habitats like swamps, marshes, and slow-moving rivers, where they can find perches and open water. They are known as "snakebirds" due to their habit of swimming with only their head and S-shaped neck above water, they spear fish with their sharp bills. Their feathers are less waterproof than other waterbirds, so they often perch with wings outstretched to dry in the sun. They soar gracefully on thermals and typically nest colonially. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Goofy black water bird is startled by the photographer's sneaky approach, nearly list his balance from the perch atop a fence. Series of shots, wings spread as the bird shifts body to and fro in a balance recovery scheme.

A highly unusual water bird is perched atop a wooden fence post, surrounded by lush, green, overgrown grasses.
The bird standing upright on the post, braced by dirty, orange webbed feet. A plump body coated with shiny black fur-like feathers. With large black feathered wings and silver highlights on the back of each wing. An extremely long, snake like neck, also furry black coating, leading to a tiny head with beady black eyes surrounded by bright pastel green, blue, and yellow, "eyeshadow" like coloring, and "mad-professor" like sprigs of hairs extending back from each side of the head, and a long, pointy beak/bill of yellow and orange.
