I captured this image of a Anhinga male just beginning breeding plumage at Circle B Bar Reserve yesterday morning. It was on a post at the small pond at the crossing of four trails described in the Circle B Bar Reserve part of the BAA Middle Florida Photography Site Guide. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
