I watched this anhinga go under and tried to anticipate where it would pop up. I was close.

It had a good day fishing

Down the hatch!!

About an hour later - spear fishing

Lost it on the flip

I was over at the first gazebo at Wako and saw the osprey circling near the second gazebo. This is what I saw when I got there.

He circled and circled. After about 20 minutes he flew off. Time to put the 55-300mm lens back on my camera.

This one was on the other side of Wako - looking for a snack

You lookin' at me??

All the tourists want to see a gator when they visit. When you point one out to them, they don't believe it's real. A few months back, one person actually told me it's a statue and they just move it around the park.

I think the fish was bad

Shaking off the puke

Heavy crop to show tongue and stuff flying
