    Anhinga Feeding the Chicks

    At the Viera Wetlands Anhinga nest, the female left the nest for a considerable time, but did eventually return to feed her chicks. It's a wonder that the chick can breath during the feeding process.

    That is a great series of shots Ira. It's amazing how far down her throat they go.

    What a riot!

    That chick is jammed so far down I'm a bit surprised that its beak didn't come poking out of momma's butt.
