Satan's Parakeet! - a photo on Flickriver

Satan's Parakeet!

            Also called, "Snakebird"..

The Anhinga is a scary looking bird, for sure, and it's a REALLY scary looking bird to fish too, I bet. :)
Taken at Richland-Creek Wildlife Management Area (RCWMA) on a very hot and partly cloudy day. It was about 90 feet or so away, so I had to use my 2.0 converter. This is a male that was at the Rookery there, all kinds of birds hang out there, with alligators underneath. Scary place... :) These things look creepy UNREAL!

Be afraid, be VERY afraid...
