At the nest this morning we saw the eaglet waiting for her parents

Also saw this other strange bird just walking across Pines.   From a distance, I thought it was an Anhinga at first but it’s definitely not that.  It didn’t seem to want to fly.  It wanted to get to something on the other side of the fence but it wouldn’t fly to get there.

I think that other bird was a double-crested cormorant (I found it on whatbird.com)

That bird is a cormorant.  Very, very similar to the anhinga, but they have fantastic turquoise eyes.  If you ever go to Everglades National Park, go to the anhinga trail there, and you will lots of cormorants.  They are very common here.

Those eyes are amazing:
