UTSW Rookery

Spring 2016 I started visiting the bird rookery at UTSW Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. It was my first time to see a rookery. In this gallery I am attempting to document what takes place in a rookery for each species of aquatic bird that comes here. It has been an amazing journey that I am sharing here. There are 8 species that nest here and I will divide them by species in the order that they show up.

Juvenile Anhinga Calling For Food

After it finished preening, the anhinga chick started calling for a parent to come and feed it. I assume that is why it was calling because it got the desired results.
