Great shots. Hard to believe that gull can swallow that fish. But it did. :thumbup:

Wow, those are excellent images! The first one especially almost has a painterly quality.

Thank you, RicknJude, Mike, and Ernie for taking 'a look see'. It was amazing to watch him dive, catch and devour. It took about 2 1/2 minutes from start to finish and I was shooting the whole time. I didn't know how graphic I could get here, but I got some awesome shots.

Harvey Loc: Pioneer, CA

Great capture - did you get any shots from inside the viewing chamber?
Dang I miss my Kokanee fishing there in So Shore.
Do you have some Genoa photos to share?

NVRose Loc: Gardnerville, Nevada.

Harvey, you are only a hop, skip and jump over the hill. Take a road trip and bring your fishing gear. The Kokanee are making their spawning run up Taylor Creek now. I was up there hoping to get bear photos, but they weren't around...too many tourists, lol. As for Genoa shots, mine are pretty outdated as they have been renovating the area. It's updated and looking very nice. Come see for yourself.

Wow! I had no idea a gull could swallow something that big! Great shots.
