This male Anhinga was sitting there wondering why it didn't have a mate. Another one came by and said, "have you looked in a mirror lately"?

Comical. I can't say I've ever seen such a display. The colors in that crown are a great contrast to the blacks.

great portrait, Wayne. love that eye and the crazy hairdo. nice comp too. perhaps more dof would be ideal, but you look to have had very limited light, and you got the sharp focus where you need it.

I love the light on this bird, his pose, and I want to know what hair salon he goes to. Seriously, his feathers are amazing! Great capture, Wayne.
