Slowly sinks like a submarine when disturbed. Sinks without diving by compressing feathers to force out air. Can stay under for long time surfacing far from where it went under.

Amazing reflection! How can the water be so calm?

I believe I got this shot at Shark Valley in SW FL in a lagoon alongside the road. It's a most beautiful place to hike and photograph. Thanks!
