Alas, I don't have any sharp photos of the coopers hawk chasing the kingfisher. I have it diving down to get the kingfisher, but the kf dove (into the water?) to hide.
First, its looking for brunch.

I can't belive out of the four of us no one got the "attack" shot.
#2 is sooo close, but I guess it was not meant to be.
I like the last shot where yo can see all the shorebirds bookin' it for their lives.
