American Anhinga
The anhinga is a large bird, measuring approximately 89 cm (35 in) in length, with a range of 75-95 cm (30-37 in), and has a 1.14 m (3.7 ft) wingspan. It lacks the oil naturally produced by ducks and other wading birds on their feathers. Anhingas are often seen with their wings spread, drying them and absorbing solar radiation to regain lost body heat. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)
