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.
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.
There seemed to be thousands of these in the Wal-mart parking lot. They have a fairly pleasing song actually.
This is a strange looking bird, but beautiful in an odd sort of way. This is the only stork native to North America.
If you look closely, you can see the tail of an alligator on the right. The birds don't seem to mind and feed in the same ponds and areas as the gators.
There were quite a few of these on the Anhinga walk at the Royal Palms area.
The female has the lighter colored neck, the male's is dark or black
While these were much smaller than the Great Blue Heron, they moved in a similar fashon and the family resemblance was obvious.
