This morning while checking my Prothonotary Warbler and Wood Duck boxes at
Harwoods Mill, I ran across a pair of Anhinga. Initially the male took
flight, and then the female emerged from some dense cover on a Bald Cypress.
Since this is the first time this year that I've seen them together, I
checked for a possible nest. Sure enough, low in the Bald Cypress was the
nest. I moved away, and the male eventually took his turn on the nest. A
nice addition to the Poquoson West SW block of the VA Breeding Bird Atlas!
