Taken out on Monterey Bay yesterday. The anchovies have these birds diving all around us so it is great fun to watch.

I really like seeing these big birds. They always seem to have an air of complete indifference for the people around them as they go about their business. Good flight shot.

Love their Kamikaze dives. Spent a whole afternoon trying to time one right-finally came close. Very sharp shot.

Excellent capture Maureen, you got great detail there.

Talk of anchovies makes my taste-buds think of salad nicoise <yum yum>.
