Great shots of an awesome seabird! Love the action and those gorgeous orange feet! We get these along the Northeast coast too, but very rarely in NJ.

Outstanding ! The exposure is perfect which gave great detail to the black feathers. The composition is very pleasing and to catch him eating is wonderful.

Wonderful captures of a very interesting water bird. I can't help but wonder why mother nature saw it fit to give this bird brilliant red feet. :)

I really like the first one, the colors are so vibrant on both the fish and bird. I have never seen such an interesting bird before. Makes me wonder what the advantage of bright red feet would be :P
