February 17: Corkscrew Swamp

We made our second visit to Corkscrew Swamp. It was about the same time of day, late afternoon. They close at 5:30 and one doesn't dawdle -- they tend to lock things up tight!

This Anhinga was swimming through the water and caught a tasty morsel. Note the tail of the bird with the white tips on the feathers.

This is an unusual one of these. This variety is from Cuba. Or so said the lady on the boardwalk who pointed it out to me.

And this little cutey is called the Little Green Heron -- for obvious reasons!? It is small and nearly disappears when it is not right in the sunlight.
