Farewell flight

Farewell flight
Female Anhinga flying over Cano Negro, Costa Rica. The word "anhinga" derives from the Brazilian Tupi language and means devil bird or snake bird. They are diving birds and when swimming, only their curved neck is above water - hence the nickname, "snake bird." Their feathers are not waterproof and they often perch in the sun to dry them.
