OT/Anhingas – Bird lovers

"KM" <kthyn...@aol.com>
I just love this bird the Anhingas, but does anyone know the other name of
it. My friend and I have a debate as to the other name. I say it is a
snakebird, but she says something else. Does anyone know what the real name
is?

check out "cormorant" – a near cousin, I believe – they used to dive
into the water before our boat and for a while I always feared sailing
over them – but, like a crow, they manage to get 'out of the road'.
try googling in a bird group....?

I believe it's called the Troll Bird, KM.

Thanks, Val. We have crows galore here and I wish we had something as
pretty as the Anhinga that was so prevalent.

You think? I think those colors are so pretty. I admit. I am a bird
lover.

Those are two of my absolute favorites. Hummingbirds are the best.

Aren't they though? We had three of them for a while one summer. While out
jogging, we saw a baby hummingbird fall from a tree. It had some sort of
disease, with patches of its feathers missing.
We took it home and fed it with an eyedropper and put it in a cage by an open
window to simulate the outside, and my husband checked what to do for its skin
condition. Amazingly, the mother showed up in a day or two and began feeding it
through the cage! We've got it on video and it's so neat to watch.
We put the cage farther away from the window, and when the mother came inside
to feed her little one, my husband caught her and put her in the cage so the
little wounded one would have company. A few days later, while the cage was
outside on the patio table, a third hummingbird showed up to feed the little
one and eventually we got a huge cage to house all three. We always wondered if
that was the mother and the father who came to feed it. But how did they know
where to find the wounded one?
As soon as the little one was strong enough to survive on its own, we released
all three of them. We still have the videos we took of these precious birds,
our favorites.

That is such a neat story. I just love animal stories. I think they much
smarter than we realize.
