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.

Great sky shot.
Wow -- that is dramatic and gorgeous!
lovely capture!! we see darters often here, and its a wonderful sight to see them drying themselves, wings stretched out! and your header image is just amazing!!
Stan, that is Superb, and until I scrolled down, didn't see what he was perching on. One really lovely shot, I would be happy with my day, if that was the only one. Cheers from Jean
Great shot!
Happy SWF to you!
How I would love to hear him as well... very noisy as I remember.
Great shot with his wide spread of wings, silhouetted against that blue sky.
