Title: The Koi-Killing Fish Hawk
Post by: MEGHAN on August 07, 2013, 12:17:40 PM

Sorry, sounds better than Osprey and large Goldfish  :lol:

Finally got a chance to meet BoboBird. An amazing person to say the least.
We had a very enjoyable day watching this guy fish. New this year is the close dives. He kept hitting about 30 feet out. Awesome day.

 
A series of shots from yesterday.
All shot, surprisingly, with a 70mm-200mm

Great action shot indeed, amazed they can get out of the water after hitting it like that.

Again a great series of photos. Never noticed the missing Hyphen - Cloaca, no confusion on my part - clearly you were joking.  :lol:

Those are really good Meghan so your next challenge is to get a shot of a hummingbird picking a mosquito larva out of a birdbath! (with it's 'claws' of course!) :)

Great shots Meghan.

Takes a lot of patience and time but the results are worth it.

PLUS the good part ? The friendly banter and coffee... haha
