Up Periscope!
I could have spent much more time watching this Anhinga fish but it caught it's fill and went into drip-dry mode on a nearby branch. I just loved watching it move it's head just like a submarine periscope in a slow up and down motion as it came up and went back down underwater to catch more fish. Unless you could see into the water to see where the bird was, it was really hard to predict when and where it would raise it's head from the water again.
