Female anhinga ready to land (anhinga anhinga)

Shooting this anhinga coming in to land, I usually would only keep the shots with the wings spread out - here the wings were almost level with the body, but I liked seeing the stretched out neck watching the landing spot, and the tail fanned out like a rudder to control the landing.

A smashing image of this Anhinga Zack and I so love how her eyes match the sky around her!

Reminds me of the Concorde on approach and the nose would tilt down. Awesome flight capture!
