Title: A few from last week-end

1. Merlin - a lifer for me. I have seen the Merlin again later in the day going after something - probably a killdeer or a sandpiper.

2. Solitary Sandpiper - In Flight

3. Harassment. This gull tried to get the fish away from the cormorant. The cormorant ducked and gull missed the opportunity. Earlier I have seen a gull snatching a fish away from the cormorant. Because of slow frame rate of D800 I missed the in-between shot when the gull almost touched the fish.
