Description
Still in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands and this photo was taken on March 1st. This is the mother Anhinga feeding her (I’m guessing about 10 days old) chick. That chick has about 8 inches (20cm) of its neck, jammed down its mother’s neck, eating lunch. Sorry if that description grosses you out but that is how it all works. I hope that you are enjoying my little corner of the world.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments and favs.

this is one way of making sure the child eats what is there. If the human race had to do this, we'd not be here right now... I'm pretty sure
Whatever it takes..so to speak..:)
no sweat you described it well and thats the way nature works after all.well done.
Yes mum I can see your Tonsils.
Rare shot! Here's where bad breath gets more serious!
Fabulous capture.
Fantastic shot! Great timing.

And I hear women complaining about how uncomfortable it is to breast feed! LOL Great shot!

Wow, good thing we humans don't have to do it that way...wonder if the baby's beak ever hurts the mum? Great shot!
Excellent fine bit of wildlife photography
WOW! This is wonderful and so exciting to watch. It's an image that will stay in ones mind for a very long time. Well done.
Great capture Dana, looks like she is swallowing her own chick :o)
Another fantastic shot my dear friend, love it!
wonderful scene! GREAT photo!

Oh well, the chick will probably learn some proper table manners as it grows up. Really terrific shot of the avian pair amidst all that wild thicket, Dana.
Excellent capture! That is something!

Fabulous shot. A rare look at dinner time habits of the Anhinga. I feel like I'm sitting at the table. Superb documentary on this family. I hope you can continue to follow the growth of this baby. I'm enjoying your photos so much.
Amazing shots!!
