The anhinga and his mate stay near one other throughout the mating and nesting season. As mean as they are to other birds, they are good to one another. They are in a nest that they stole from the egrets and threw the egret eggs out. Then, the male brought green willow branches to the female to enchant her and embellish the nest. In the 85 degree heat, the willow leaves are now brown.

Come over to the dark side, we have cookies. :)
The one with the lighter head is almost camoflauged with the nest Colleen. It probably hides it better from predators. A very clear shot. Excellent comosition with the bird, nest and tree. Well done.

An excellent and amazing capture of the pair of nesting Anhingas Colleen. Fantastic colour and detail in this well composed image.
