We first thought this was a cormorant. But closer examination of the Audubon field guide to Florida revealed it was not a cormorant at all, but an Anhinga. There are long white patches of white on the wing span. It is an absolutely gorgeous bird and graceful doesn't even begin to describe it's flight. I think St. John's is fast becoming my favorite spot on the Great Loop.
This picture was taken through the lens of a pair of binoculars. I'll try to get a few alligators that way if we're not underway.
