Visited Dry Tortugas National Park earlier this month and while photographing the Magnificent Frigatebirds circling over Fort Jefferson, noticed one swoop down and grab something from the water. They passed this Spotted Snake Eel back and forth for several minutes. Kids playing with their lunch. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 on March 3, 2021.

Nice set. Did they eventually decide who got to eat it?
Unfortunately didn't see. I did see one drop it right over my head and another swooped in to grab it. Missed that shot as I thought I was about to have an eel on my neck.

Thank you all. Have been enjoying the challenges of photographing wildlife (mostly birds). It's a great hobby in many ways. Gives a great excuse for me and my wife to travel and hike and the technical challenges are fun. We've visited 29 National Parks in the last two years. Only 34 to go!
