Haulover Inlet gave me another good one.
This is a cormorant — most likely a Double-crested Cormorant — and he looked like he had something very important to announce to the whole inlet.
Cormorants are built for the water. They dive underwater to chase fish, use their webbed feet like paddles, and unlike ducks, their feathers are not as waterproof. That is why you often see them standing around with their wings spread open, drying off after a dive.
That is one of the things I love about being on the water so much. You never really know what is going to show up. Some days it is dolphins. Some days it is manatees. Some days it is a bird on a marker at Haulover Inlet looking like it owns the whole place.
South Florida has a lot more going on than people see from the road. The wildlife, the water, the sky, the mangroves, the sandbars, and all these little moments are what make every trip different.
If you want to see more of this side of South Florida, come out with me on Water Limo for a private captained boat ride for up to 6 passengers.
