Anhinga
Shark Valley, Everglades
April 26, 2014

This anhinga would repeated through sticks into the air and try to catch them.
It was as if she was trying to practice her skills.
In particular, anhinga will spear fish and then toss them in the air so they can swallow them in the right orientation.

Beach

The Veep's weed

flower
Bidens pilosa
Family: Asteraceae Hollywood Beach
May 10, 2014

This common Florida weed is one of many that now reminds me of my childhood.
It took some effort to track down the name, but even after I did, neither the binomial nor any of the many common names (eg Beggar's tick) sounded the least bit familiar to me.
Judging from the pictures, this may actually be Bidens pilosa var. radiata.

This is another example. In this case (and presumably many others) despite my association with Florida, this is actually an invasive - from Africa.
