This is an image from 2011. I distinctly recall that evening, yet I have no idea why I never processed any from this sequence before today. I was spending time with this cooperative female when the male swooped in, presented her with a fish and proceeded to mate. This is nearly full frame, It really takes alot of luck to get them mating as it happens so fast and you just kind of have to be there and hope it happens.
Thanks for looking and for your comments, I do indeed appreciate them one and all.
