    The action is nice, and the timing perfect. I really wish you hadn't clipped the feathers at bottom! If you have it I would add a bit back at bottom and maybe some at left too.

    Great head angle in the heat of the moment. Was this a naturally caught fish or a fed fish? Good EXP and SH.

    Artie,
    This was a naturally caught fish by a snowy egret. I don't have anything against baiting or use of recording, but I don't use them, since I am rookie birder, don't know yet how and when to use them without causing negative impact.

    Thanks Raul. I have no problem feeding fishermen acclimated birds some live fish. Or even thawed frozen fish.
