This bird is an ANHINGA..also known as a snakebird
Rhesus monkeys have become well established in the area around Silver Springs. Troops of 20 or so monkeys roam the area. I heard that the estimated local population may be near three thousand now. I saw about thirty.
As you can see in this photo, many of the monkeys are carrying newborns

In spite of your claims to the contrary, the photos are excellent. Enjoyed the commentary also. Very descriptive.
Hi Robbie
I really enjoyed learning a bit about your swamp adventures and I must say I really love your photos! I grew up on the canals in Venice and used to kayak occasionally, but found myself more comfortable in a canoe. Thank you for sharing!
Monkeys? I had no idea. I love all your pictures.
Thanks Brigid!
The monkeys are one of the more popular exotic critters that have become well established here in Florida. Most people are more familiar with the python stories.
If you visit here again, I can get you up close and personal with the gators if you want.
