Day 123 - Everglades, Anhingas
These birds are so common at the Royal Palms area, the walk is called the Anhinga Trail. I'd never heard of them before - they are somewhat similar in size & & behavior to Cormorants.

Day 123 - Everglades, Anhinga drying wings
Like the Cormorant, the Anhinga dives to catch fish. It can't fly with wet wings, so stands like this to dry them after diving.
