Pied-billed Grebe

Another from Ridgefield NWR last month. I never did see whether this Grebe was able to down the fish it had caught. It swam all over the place with it for at least 5 minutes while I watched before it went out of sight. It had the head of the fish in its mouth for awhile, but this was actually a later frame in the series. Unfortunately, it never got too close and you're restricted to the vehicle in this part of Ridgefield, so this is a substantial crop.

7D, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, beanbag on truck window, f8, 1/2000, Av mode with no compensation, iso500. Cropped to 3.24MP (just about enough for this kind of presentation). Taken at Ridgefield NWR at 11:05 am on November 21st.

Your comments and criticisms are most appreciated.

Thanks for looking,
