Dora this "wilderness area" is the canal behind my house in Boca, fl. the limb this anhinga is standing was one of five trees knocked down last year during the hurricanes.
Well, I meant "in the wild" as opposed to stuffed and mounted or at the zoo. It's still a feat to have them hold still, back yard or not. I have maybe 2 bird shots that would pass as presentable and neither as clear as the detail on this bird's wings.
Thanks for commenting on one of my photos. It seems that we like to shoot some of the same subjects.
This ia a nice, crisp image. I fell asleep in a backyard hammock once and had an anhinga perch two feet away. They'll go in the water quickly, but seem to have less of a "comfort zone" than many other birds.
