Bonding with an Anhinga

From Fripp Island, near Beaufort SC. This talented creature (it flies, swims on and under water, spears fish and poses for photographs) and I have been getting to know each other over the last month or so. Her (female Anhinga's have buff colored necks, males are all black) daily routine is pretty consistent. I generally find her near the same 2 ponds almost daily. I'm glad that she tolerates my presence. I really want to image her with a fish on that beak!

Nikon D500. Nikkor 300mm f1:4e PF with a Nikon 1.4 T.C.

Keep watching. Sooner or later you will see her surface from a dive with a fish. I watch "my" osprey eat a fish almost daily. One of these days I will watch him catch it.
Good luck.

Nice set. Be patient, you'll get the image you want eventually.
