As I neared the shore, I spooked a hunting Striated Heron who in turn spooked a Neotropic Cormorant hunting the shallow water. About one hundred yards away an Anhinga surfaced with a freshly skewered fish. The subtle white edging to the gape of this bird indicates it is near breeding time.

Tree Swallows squabbled and hunted in the air overhead and spent time examining the numerous nest boxes erected for them. Needless to say, I was a bit groggy when I met up with them.
