No catch or it was consumed before the bird came up from the plunge.
This bird is normally found swimming on the water picking of insects at of a little below the surface. They will often do a dervish to stir up food. This one was the only one around and was flocking with Least, Western, Baird's and Pectoral Sandpipers.

I have a couple more from other plunges but none came out in a good sequence like this one. I may have cut off the sequence with the plunges as I try to keep the head in focus. Need to work that out for this type of action.
I have found getting water droplets and even water running off of the subject to be much more interesting as it suggests action in just one shot.
Looking forward to encountering more sequences and posting them.
