Seafood Sunday
The little monk finally made his way out for me today. He didn't stay long and he moved fast. But he caught himself a crayfish, swam a little and sunned himself all in a matter of a couple minutes. Here are a few shots.

7D
300mm f/4

Great shots Kurt, especially with the crayfish.

By the way that is a huge crayfish!

As others have said, very nice sequence in these shots. Very enjoyable set to look at and not much to comment about. Well done.

Man, some of you forum guys have been posting some amazing critter sequence shots lately! This one's a doozy. I never knew crayfish had blue claws. (But I have heard they taste like chicken.)

A great story-telling series of images Kurt! That is quite a colorful crayfish.

Wow, that's a big crayfish. Cool collection.

Big time cute factor with these shots - "taking food home" is awesome! He's looking at the crawfish like " how can I possibly eat this thing?"

That is either one huge crawfish, or one little mink. Great series.

Great series, Kurt!
