An appreciation post for one of my favorite birds, the Anhinga! These birds are good divers and will completely submerge to catch their prey. Since they have no oils on their wings to repel water, anhingas have to stretch out their wings to let them dry before they can fly!

“Before we went in the Union, [Nevada’s land] was owned entirely by private owners and it has developed all the natural resources, a very big state. So you can imagine how wonderful it would be if land will be or should be returned to the states and then for the best parts sold off to private owners.” -Ron Paul at the Western Republican Leadership Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 21, 2011.
“I want as much federal land to be turned over to the state as possible…” -Ron Paul in Elko, Nevada, February 2012. There, he also said he wants to disband the U.S. Department of the Interior.
