Field Notes

Habitat:

spotted on the Indian River

Notes:

This cute couple swam past me while I was on the dock for sunrise then flew up the bank to the yard. I suspect they are in search of a nesting site. One year a pair nested in the leather leaf fern around one of the oak trees in the side yard.
