Anhinga ~ (Anhinga anhinga)
I was photographing wading birds at water level when this Anhinga breached the surface with a sunfish. It almost appeared to display the catch as a trophy - allowing it glisten in the sunlight for a few seconds before gulping it down. Very easy to see why the Anhinga is colloquially called the 'snake bird'.
Thanks for visiting!

Still practicing for the solar eclipse on the 8th. So I thought I'd try shooting the Moon. Canon 1DMIV, 500mm + 2x + 1.4x extenders, yes you can stack them. 1820mm equivalent.

With the big horn sheep keeping their distance, I thought it was time to get a longer lens. So what did the sheep do?... they moved even farther away. But I like the Canon 600MM. I purchased a near new late 1990s unstabilized version. It may not be state-of-the-art today, but it was back then ... just like me. The above are a couple test shots of some ewes on the top of a ridge. The lens may weight over 15 pounds, but it does a good job, even today. And on a tripod, you don't need the image stabilization.
