An Anhinga squawks as it warms in the early morning sunshine in central Florida. Whether wet or dry, and especially in bright sunshine and cool temperatures, anhingas spread their wings, characteristically orienting themselves with their backs to the sun. Anhingas have unusually low metabolic rates and unusually high rates of body-heat loss. The spread-wing posture allows them to absorb solar energy to supplement their low metabolic heat production and to offset their high rate of heat loss.

I am a passionate photographic artist based on the Outer Banks, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
