Field Notes

Description:

This large male Anhinga was mainly black and the back had elongated feathers that looked like white. I should also highlight the long yellow bill and the bright blue around the eye.

Habitat:

Amazonian rain-forest

Notes:

This bird was recovering in CPPMA (Centro de Preservação e Pesquisa de Mamiferos Aquáticos) inBalbina, Amazónia. Probably it was hurt and delivered to this association.
