Anhinga take off, Happy 2008!!!

[Fabs Forns]

Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a couple of weeks ago. Anhingas are actively courting, doing the dance and some even mating on trees and carrying branches. Funny, when they try to attract a mate, they look like they are listening to an iPod and moving to the tune :)

Gorgeous shot, Fabs! Great bird too with nice breeding plumage. The wing position and bg are awesome.

What a great image. The wings are so sharp and the head turn (with those beautiful mating season colors) is perfect. I love your description of their head movements too!

Love the detail in this Fabs! BG is a little cluttered for me, but minor nit.
