An Anhinga in Fenny


On the pathway surrounding Fenny spring, right next to the clubhouse, is a bird sanctuary.  First time shooting there with the cannon I managed to catch this Anhinga, and its mate, right after they had lunch.

The Anhinga eats small fish that it catches by diving into the water, spearing them, then flips it to swallow whole.  Unlike most birds its feathers are not waterproof, since they need to dive to catch their prey.  As a result, they always find a sunny perch and spread their wings to dry out after eating.
