Snakebird (Anhinga) drying its wings in Brazos Bend State Park. Needville, Texas, June 2, 2012



A cormorant was spotted drying its wings on a tree branch in Brazos Bend State Park, Needville, Texas, on June 2, 2012. The bird's feathers were saturated from a recent swim, and it used the branch to shake off excess water and fly away. - generated by AI

The image depicts a large black bird with its wings spread out, standing on a rocky shore near water. The distinctive orange beak of the Cormorant is visible and appears to be clean or dry as it faces left. Its feathers are ruffled from exposure to the air, suggesting that the bird has just dived into the water and is now drying off. The Cormorant's wings extend outwards in a V shape and appear to have white markings on their undersides.

The background of the image features a body of still water, which likely contains aquatic vegetation as it appears darker towards the shore. The overall scene suggests that the bird is situated near or in an area with bodies of water such as lakes or rivers. – AI vision
