Anhinga [Sky Watch Friday]

This shot was taken several years ago in the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden [located quite a bit south of Miami]. The bird is a Anhinga, also known as the Darter, Snakebird or Water Turkey. It appeared to be drying its wings atop its lofty perch as we happened by. While I am not particularly a fan of birds, I must confess it was fascinating to watch. Besides, it made an otherwise uninteresting sky worth photographing.
