Quick shot of this guy through the window yesterday. Seemed to be puffing up and yelling at someone..

With fresh snow, pretty much house bound. Birds are quite hungry though...may have to trudge out and refill the feeders.

All of these are through the window. Not optimal, but if I open it they all fly away for 10 min and it is too cold to leave it open!

Spectacular shot, Shalu. That's a prize winner right there. You sure found a tribe of hungry birds. :p

Truly amazing capture.
Not sure who gets the prize, the Cormorant or Shalu
Brilliant stuff.
It's hard enough being a human on this planet, but fish???

Thanks for the kind words Mike.
Here's a link of an Anhinga trying to dislodge and tenderize a Catfish.

Happy trails:-)

That was quite humerus, Paul. The Anhinga is a chef of the bird world. It knows just how long to cook (or should I say beat and smash) it's meal in order to bring out the most exquisite taste of this fine and sought after fish delight. :p

Cheers,

Mike
