Waterlogged

This is a female Anhinga, a diving, fish-eating bird found over a large area of North, Central and South America. Like many birds that dive to chase and capture fish, its feathers do not have oil secretion to shed water; hence, they become water logged after a few dives. It is quite common to see them standing on a branch or rock with their wings outstretched so their feathers can dry. We watched this one stand for a few minutes in such a pose. Unfortunately for her, after those few minutes, the skies opened up and it poured rain. If she was not water logged beforem she certainly was after. Shot in Costa Rica in Cano Negro, a large wetland in the very north of the country.
Shot with a Canon R5, 100-500 mm lens (at 400), SS 1/1000, f/6.3, ISO 2500. Processed in PS with 25% crop from top and R. I would like to have reduced my SS to 1/200 to produce elongated rain drops, but I was in a boat and was afraid to reduce my SS to that level.
