I think that look in defensive mood. Very nice catch. It also freshwater bird like Cormorant.

Not sure ceherzog. It looks more like a metal sign post that accidentally got into the lake. The whole area was not very well maintained. Very resourceful this darter :)

Is that a man-made platform for nesting anhingas?
