Spear fishing - a photo on Flickriver

            I got to add a lifer to my bird list with this Anhinga. Of course, with a straight bill and having just speared the fish, it had to do some work to make sure it doesn't lose the fish as it maneuvered the fish for consumption. A nice sized meal for the bird as well! 

It was a treat to see more than 20 new bird species in Florida at last count, and I'll be working  to process them as well as other shots and share them on Flickr over time.

Taken 2 April 2019 at Viera Wetlands, Florida.
