A Little Crab for Breakfast

Little Estero Lagoon, Fort Meyers Florida

This White Ibis was working the lagoon for something to eat and came up with this small Crab.

Fun times.

Awesome pose and excellent action captured.You handled the exposure perfectly the detail looks great.

Lovely shot, Keith. Whites well managed as James mentioned - the bird has a really nice "surprised" look

[Juan Aragonés]

Very good job on the exposure Keith. The details are very good and I like a lot the crab and the drops falling from the bill tip.

[Glenn Bartley]

Neat pose and I love the prey item. Whites look great too.

Just love it! No nits here, outstanding exposure, pose, moment and BG. Congratulations!

Did the ibis actually eat that huge crab?! Lovely image. Good exposure control and sharp detail. Well done.

I don't know if the Ibis ate the crab or not. He went behind some bushes and I wasn't able to see the final result :-)
