Papa Anhinga With A Nest Full Of...Aliens
The father was standing guard by his nest full of big fluffy babies. Baby anhingas look very alien to me with those bizarre bald heads and that unhinged looking jaw. There were at least 3 babies here with one looking at its father, perhaps hoping for some food. Ahinga babies start out tiny and grow rapidly into very large nestlings.
