In my opinion this is a weird bird. But somehow it is beautiful. According to my book they behave similar to the cormorants.

  4. ...I love Anhingas! They really look like snakes when they swim in the water and only their long necks stick out! I've never seen this two-toned anhinga. I love it!

I love comments so please write something. I usually responds to everyone on their own blogs. But nowadays I often find it impossible to comment on many blogs or on Google+. Often the word verifications is unreadable. And after three times I give up. Other times the systems seems to think I am a spammer. Lots of bloggers loose comments that way. :( So, if you don´t see me comment on your blog that is the reason.
