Cormorants!

I love those cormorants. I had a pet cormorant a couple of seasons ago. He'd wait for me to arrive to play 'chase the Senko.' I'd either skip it across the surface and he'd flap around and chase it or if I brought it in just under the surface, he'd dive and frantically try to catch it. It was good fun until I would decide to finally fish. They have no off switch or any ability to tire out. :?

For once I wish that was a real shot, in the cross hairs, as sighted through a scope. Hate those bastards!
Yep. Winged carp. I can't say I remember seeing those things around years ago. This was at Big Bend when I was heading toward the spillway in the kayak.

Nice shot. what 500 do you have?
That's taken with an old Nikon 70-300 VR on cropped sensor
Weird, that it listed it as 500mm for focal length. A 300mm on a Nikon aps-c sensor is effectively 450mm, not 500mm. It's also listing it where flickr would normally put the actual not effective.
I was wondering if you got some new glass.
Totally cool shot regardless.
