The Weekend in Black and White: Fishing Frenzy

The dark bird in the water is a cormorant and I got another shot where it had a fish in its mouth so I knew it was having some luck fishing. What surprised me was how the gulls seemed to be encroaching on the cormorant's fishing space. This shot is a little blurrier than I like but there was so much action going on that it was hard to get a clear shot that included the whole group.

I think the cormorant should be afraid - very afraid!

About Me

My Photo
My original site, Carver's Sight or is that Site, was inspired by reading the blogs of people who I got to know through the Melanoma Patient's Information Page (MPIP). As time has gone on, I find myself talking as much about gardening, photography, and other random thoughts as I do about melanoma follow up. I am happy about that. I have set up an additional site, Carver Cards, which is primarily a photoblog.
