Our good ship, the Hondius. Remember that we only see the top 1/10th of the iceberg.

Egrets are common in the Everglades, but I never tire of photographing them in flight.

Anhingas are semi-aquatic birds that are as graceful in the air as they are underwater. Unlike some birds, they have no oils to keep their feathers dry, so after a swim they must dry out their wings or else they’ll struggle to take flight again.
