I captured this image at a stop along Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive in Apopka, Florida. A first for me I have never seen this bird before. From reading it seems to have been around since the 1990's, an invasive species like the Hydrilla it is feeding on. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
