Pic of the Day

     Anhinga – Anhinga Trail: Everglades National Park, Florida:  Strolling along Anhinga Trail in the Florida Everglades I came upon this Anhinga perched on the wooden rail along the trails path.  As you can imagine the red eyes caught my attention immediately.  As I readied my tripod and lens the Anhinga latched onto every move I made, and would not take its eyes off me.  This was just what I wanted, the bird looking directly into the camera lens. 
The red eyes are certainly the center of interest and the gaze into the lens makes them even more poignant.
