I love the birds. Our neighborhood is called Hawk Nest. Each street contains the name of a bird. I’m on Kisskadee Dr. We also have A street called Anhinga!

I want to write poems for all the street names. That will be a project.

Anhinga! Did you see the prompt I posted with the picture of the crane, and the conversation it sparked? It’s not a crane, it’s an anhinga. But, it wasn’t.

No, I missed that one. What is the title of the post?

I’m sorry, I should have specified that I was referencing one of my flash fiction challenges. It was a while ago. And Jim responded calling it an anhinga. Several of us were in doubt… https://melissalemay.wordpress.com/2024/09/30/melissas-fandango-flash-fiction-challenge-288/

So funny – serious bird controversy! I don’t know much about cranes, but I agree that it was not an anhinga.

Jen both the birds are lovely! In Northern Indiana we rarely see the cormorant except as it is passing through. I don’t thing I’ve ever seen an Anhinga in these parts… I’m guessing they prefer more tropical weather!

That’s a beautifully vivid haiku! ☀️ I can almost see the cormorant basking in the sun, wings spread, soaking in warmth. 🌊
Both fascinating birds! 🐦✨
