Per Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is
#WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying.
The Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage.

An anhinga is standing on a concrete slab with its wings spread out to dry. Its head is turned to the side and you can see its blue-green eye and pointed brown beak. Its neck is brown and the body is black with white feathers on its wings that look like silver. A turtle is sunning next to it. There’s a gray tree branch protruding from the blue-green lake water.
Interesting information:
The anhinga is a large, slender water bird known as the "snakebird" or "water turkey"that inhabits the warmer swamps, rivers, and ponds of the Americas.
Adult males are glossy black with silvery-white streaks on the wings and back; females and immatures feature a pale tan or light brown head, neck, and breast.
They possess a sharp, dagger-like bill, a long S-shaped neck, and a wide, fan-like tail.
Unlike most water birds, anhingas have wettable plumage and dense bones, which help them sink and maneuver underwater.

💧 Can reservoirs support #waterbird communities? A 20-year analysis across Spain finds higher functional diversity in #reservoirs than natural lakes, with piscivores and waders driving gains over time, highlighting their growing role in #conservation.

Alt is #RSTU, any bird beginning with any of these letters.

A Double-Breasted Cormorant with a yellow hooked bill and blue-green eyes has its head turned over its back and is standing on a tree branch that’s protruding from lake water.

Interesting information:
Double-crested Cormorants are large waterbirds with small heads on long, kinked necks. They have thin, strongly hooked bills, roughly the length of the head. Their heavy bodies sit low in the water. Adults are brown-black with a small patch of yellow-orange skin on the face. Immatures are browner overall, palest on the neck and breast. In the breeding season, adults develop a small double crest of stringy black or white feathers. Double-crested Cormorants float low on the surface of water and dive to catch small fish. After fishing, they stand on docks, rocks, and tree limbs with wings spread open to dry. In flight, they often travel in V-shaped flocks that shift and reform as the birds alternate bursts of choppy flapping with short glides. Double-crested Cormorants are the most widespread cormorant in North America, and the one most frequently seen in freshwater. They breed on the coast as well as on large inland lakes. They form colonies of stick nests built high in trees on islands or in patches of flooded timber. Double-crested Cormorants in Alaska are larger with whiter, straighter crests than individuals in the rest of North America. Heading southeast through their range, they are smaller with less obvious, curly black head crests. The smallest individuals are in the Bahamas.
