Hooded Merganser Feeding #2 - S.W. Florida

Here is another female feeding off this awesome pond! These guys were and still pulling catfish after catfish after catfish... It's crazy how much they feed!

Canon 1D MKIV, Canon 800mm L @ f/8, 1/1000 sec, ISO 640 in Manual mode.

Thanks!

Great action photo. The low angle really makes it pop.

Very nice Maxis! I always wonder how they can get a Catfish down and not get hurt by those spines when the Cat is wriggling in their belly. Love the angle too.

Wonderful shot. Great action and the lighting and background captured the subtle colors of the bird perfectly.

Great timing, love the action. They do like to fish. Fish > preen > nap > repeat. :)
