I was at Anhinga Trail (Everglades, near Florida City, FL) a week and a half ago, and had fun shooting some feeding activity of the Double-crested Cormorants down there. The first image is one of my favorites from this trip, and clearly shows what I believe is a Blue Tilapia in the possession of a cormorant:
Some other cormorants feeding in the area soon saw the catch, and came after it. The resulting action was fast and furious, so much so that at the time I had no idea if any of my shots would be worth keeping. These second two aren't quite as "clean" as the first, but definitely demonstrate the action:
Canon 1DMk2
Canon 600L/f4 IS with 1.4x II Teleconverter
ISO 500, f/5.6, 1/2000 second (Manual Exposure)
Gitzo 1329/ArcaSwiss B1/Wimberley Sidekick
Comments always welcome.
