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.
The female has the lighter colored neck, the male's is dark or black
