Close-up of wing feathers of Anhinga, Snakebird, Darter, American darter, or Water turkey
Extreme close-up of a male Anhingas wing, a beautiful black and silvery white. Anhingas do not have waterproof feathers. It is believed that they do not have the oil glands to waterproof them. The structure of the anhingas feathers decreases their buoyancy and allows them to stay underwater for longer periods of time in pursuit of their prey (fish). Because their plumage is not water-repellant, they have difficulty when attempting to fly with waterlogged wings. They dry their feathers by standing with their wings spread usually under the sun.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing details of a male Anhinga's wing feathers in extreme close-up. The contrasting black and silvery white hues create a stunning monochrome effect, showcasing the intricate beauty of nature. Anhingas, also known as Snakebirds, Darters, American Darters, or Water Turkeys, possess unique feathers that lack waterproofing capabilities. It is believed that these birds do not have the necessary oil glands to make their plumage water-repellant. However, this adaptation serves a purpose - it allows them to stay submerged underwater for extended periods while hunting fish. The structure of an Anhinga's feathers reduces buoyancy and enables them to dive effortlessly in pursuit of their prey. Unfortunately, flying with waterlogged wings becomes challenging due to their non-waterproof plumage. To overcome this obstacle, these remarkable creatures resort to drying their feathers by spreading their wings under the warm sun. Photographed in Florida by Zen Rial, this image showcases not only the delicate intricacy of the Anhinga's wing feathers but also highlights its fascinating behavior and adaptations for survival in its natural habitat. This print from Fine Art Storehouse offers viewers a glimpse into the extraordinary world of avian wonders found within our own backyard.
