Birds (Set) RSS Media RSS Slideshow Northern Pintail Drake: A northern pintail drake stands in a nearly dry prairie pothole in north-central South Dakota. Such scenes may become more common in the prairie pothole region in a future drier and warmer climate, as recent research indicates that fewer wetlands will be available for waterfowl. Anhinga Drying Its Feathers: Anhingas are considered primitive birds because they do not produce oils like ducks and other water fowl. They must dry their feathers periodically in order to fly or even remain buoyant, so they remain perched for significant periods of time with wings outstretched.
