Great Egret, Western Cattle Egret, Anhinga, and American Coot in Audubon Park, New Orleans, December 2025
In bright afternoon light on the shore of a pond, a Great Egret is perched, on the left, in profile. On the right, an Anhinga is facing out, wings partially open to either side, and looking up and to the left, beak open, at a Western Cattle Egret who is hovering above. In the background, an American Coot swims on the water

tfw you may have detected a small flaw in your plan 😦🐠🪶
Screenshot from the above video of the Anhinga perched on a branch in/over the water. The bird’s back is to the camera, and their head is turned to the right in profile. Their long pointy beak is ajar, and a fish is skewered on the end of it (but the points of the upper and lower beak are visible on the other side of the fish)

Anhinga with fish - Anhingas are always fun to watch catch fish. I really liked these shots with the tail feathers splayed out with the fish on its bill. 🪶

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideViews and the Alternative is #TurningAway birds not looking at you. Here we have a Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius), Short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) and an Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga). #Birds 🪶 #Photography #Nikon
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideViews and the Alternative is #TurningAway birds not looking at you. Here we have a Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea). A Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius). A very secretive, woodland bird that is seldom seen although it makes an awful lot of noise. Short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) hunting over the Pentland Hills south of Edinburgh. The local breeding population swells in winter with migrants coming over from the near Continent to take advantage of our milder winters. Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) aka snakebird, darter, American darter, or water turkey. This was taken in the Everglades.

I took this photo last week of an Anhinga swimming in a pond with a fish speared in its beak. It feels a bit abstract until you realize what you are looking at.

I guess this one can double for #BirdoftheDay #OntheEdge. Way too many hashtags!
A large mostly black bird with a long curving neck and long pointed bill is perched on a tree limb just above the water and has its wings spread out to the sides to dry. There are some white accents on the wings and shoulders of the bird.

Egrets, I’ve had a few*.

*(I passed two Great Egrets, Ardea alba, on my way to my office this morning. Plus an anhinga choking down a huge fish it had caught, but I didn’t get a good picture of that.)
