Northern Pintail: Just Passing Through
From Brigantine several winters ago. This is the 7th frame in a 9-frame sequence of this handsome drake as he flew across the salt marsh. It was sheer luck that he positioned himself in the strip of water in this frame. I think the Northern Pintail is the most elegant of waterfowl, as his down-wing, stretched out flight position illustrates. Cropped some from right and stretched the canvas a bit on the left, to give him some flying room.
