I never really thought of Anhingas as soft and cuddly . . . till I saw this one this morning 😌
Snuggly Anhinga
Birder's Journey
"You must have birds in your heart before you can find them in the bushes." — John Burroughs (Journal of the Outdoor Life, v20, 1923, p. 137)
Birder's Journey 
🌅 In the morning light so tender, ☀️ A surprise that’s oh so slender. 🕊️ An Anhinga, not what you’d expect, 😯 Soft and cuddly, a fact unchecked. 🌿
Long neck and sleek feathers, true, 🦢 But snuggled close, a different view. 🤗 Eyes that twinkle, a beak so sly, 😏 An unexpected cuteness, oh my, oh my! 🐦
In the realm of birds, a charming find, 🌳 A snuggly Anhinga, a heartwarming kind. 💖 Feathers not just for flight and fray, 🍃 But for cozy moments on a chilly day. 🌌
So next time you spy an Anhinga’s grace, 👀 Remember this moment, a soft embrace. 🤍 Nature’s surprises, in every nook, 🌈 Even Anhingas can be in a cute little book! 📖
🌅☀️🕊️😯🌿🦢🤗😏🐦🌳💖🍃🌌👀🤍🌈📖

Very nice, and good theme. I have always thought the female Anhinga looks almost to have fur, not feathers 😂. Fuzzy LOL

It does indeed look cuddly – a change from a teddy bear maybe? Hehe!

I have to imagine that maybe somebody has already created a cuddly stuffed Anhinga to sell ☺️
