Birds of a Hidden Pond

I was lucky on a beautiful morning this week to take photos of Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa), a Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon), and an Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), which, is more commonly called a Water Turkey, Swamp Turkey, Snake Bird, or Devil Bird.

What Wood Ducks, Belted Kingfishers, and Anhingas have in common is that they are found in and near water. Fortunate to have a few hours alone beside a hidden pond in north central Louisiana, I enjoyed taking these photos.
