Immature Anhinga: Viera Wetlands
Noticing movement on a palm trunk a closer look revealed an immature anhinga. This photo was captured at sundown as well.

Walking along a hiking path at the Circle B Bar Reserve we spotted this anhinga struggling with its catch. Although the catfish is quite small the anhinga repositioned it a number of times before swallowing; apparently out of concern for its dagger sharp fins.
