General Note
Also known as American darter or Water turkey. Unlike other diving birds its feathers become waterlogged which helps maneuvering underwater where it will skewer fish with its long sharp bill. Afterwards it will strike a pose with outstretched wings to dry in the sun. Wax myrtle is also featured in the image.
