December 2014. Anhinga Trail. Everglades National Park. Homestead, Florida.
We sat on one of the benches in the boardwalk to enjoy the peace and quiet when two males started fighting.
After a minute of thrashing and pecking, they finally broke up the fight and went their separate ways.
But this individual was apparently still pumped up.
The trail is aptly named so as you can spot a lot of Anhingas in the area.
Since Anhingas don't have oil glands, they have to perch and open their wings to dry them in the sun.

| Female Anhinga. One can tell her apart from the male by the tawny-brown neck (and breast). |
