Anhingas spend much of their time stretching their wings out to dry. They don’t have water repellant feathers so when they’re out of the water, that’s how they dry them off, reminiscent of Cormorants that similarly spread their wings to dry. This is a female Anhinga, the skin surrounding its red eye a greenish color during breeding season. The Anhingas were quite prevalent in Wakodahatchee Wetlands, lots of pairs with nests and lots spreading their wings to dry.
