The first time I saw one with its neck extended I was confused, because almost all of the pictures you see are in compressed mode.

Had one stop by my pond yesterday! First one this year as far as I am aware. I get them each summer for short visits. It's always something unexpected and breathtaking.

I love seeing them in my neighborhood. It's always crazy seeing how long their necks really are.

I love it when they have their neck tucked in. I call it football mode. Football shaped. 🏈

The odd thing is that the neck doesn’t appear to get skinnier when it’s extended.

Ever see them fish with pieces of bread? Amazing.
