I launched my Kayak from beaches of Port Royal and headed south, once again, to the barrier island of Keewaydin.
This Cormorant had managed to stuff some kind of eel or elongated fish down its gullet.
A pair of Willets work the shoreline looking for food.
This Fighting Conch was getting caught in the outgoing tide.
The Willets kept a nervous eye on me and my large camera lens.
A Snowy Egret hunts for fish on the shoreline.
And it catches one!
A Shark!
Just kidding, it’s a pod of Porpoise. They didn’t seem to mind me following them around in my kayak.
Blow hole!
A hovering Osprey looks for breakfast.
A gaggle of Double-Crested Cormorants sit atop the pilings.
There were a ton of Snowy Egrets working the shoreline.
No bait fish was safe.
love the shots! Your bird photos are something else – what patience you have. Most favorite shot- the conch!
Thanks! I have a bunch coming up. Just need to get around to writing the supporting material. 🙂
Great capture of the “cormorant vs eel” here! That looked like quite a big meal sliding down here (a huge eel I’m guessing) So did the bird manage to keep that whole thing down? It looks like the unlucky prey was swallowed still wriggling/alive as well? I wonder, does it stand any slim chance of escaping if eaten in that condition?!
