Finally, an Anhinga pelvis!

I made an off handed comment on my first post about how I only have illustrations of an Anhinga anhinga pelvises, but fortunately that has recently changed!





I was looking for Pelagic cormorant references (to no avail) and stumbled across that image as a related image on Google Images. It's from the paper "A Middle Pleistocene Bird Community From Saint Lucie County, Florida" by John Andrew Kilmer and David W. Steadman. Scientific papers have a wealth of bird bones images, and one day I intent to make a post compiling all the papers I've found with helpful references. For now though, I'll just appreciate the beauty of the first anhigna pelvis photograph I've seen.
