Look out below! (he's telling the gulls in the water below to make room for a dive).

Northern Gannet.

I'd put the Anhinga in a companion photo with a fighter jet to show how similar they look from this angle...

My first thought, exactly.

Either the Anhinga made a really low pass or Tc202 can jump really good....

Cheers.

I was so happy seeing the Anhinga fly low towards me because of how flat their body is when they fly. I also though about the similarities between a bird and a jet :-)

The black and white really does something for this, that looks very frame-worthy. :)

Thanks. I posted the color original in the 7D2 photos thread last week but went back and converted it. I like it much better in black and white too. It was a lucky grab shot when I turned around from shooting some spoonbills.

I have an anhinga shot that also reminded me of a jet. They are cool birds in flight. This one reminded me of a jumbo jet!!! Yours definitely looks more fighter jet!

Nice. They are one of the coolest birds and have a great aerodynamic look. Here are some less aerodynamic birds :)
