Seems not so easy to take off !

Such interesting birds. I love the way the stand around holding their wings out.

These are cousins to our anhingas. Great fun to watch as they dive down, come up and fly over the water!

They are not the best flyers. I am always intriqued by cormorants, we see them here as well.
