To the hopes of birders, Prospect Lake's Anhinga kept its promise to stay another day. For many birders its a lifer, a county and state bird or even curiosity to see a strange looking bird. Whatever the reason, it's a cool bird to see.
Early morning , a report places the Anhinga at the South middle lake islands named 3 Sisters. And there the bird favored this island cluster most of the day. I saw it perched in an oak tree in the northeast section of the eastern island from the south shore,thanks to Max Epstein tweet.
The bird moved around. At one point it flew high into thermal flight but descended back down to earth and Three Sisters. A birder saw it perched next to an Osprey; from this perch the Anhinga even snare a fish. Most views I gather came from the Peninsula thumb.
A last report late in the day mentioned the bird roosting on the western island of Three Sister s on low branches presenting challenging looks for birders. It was best according to birders viewing a distant look from the Peninsula. thumb.
Brooklyn's Anhinga has become a celebrity.
