Tidal flow at the Slough
Jun 17, 2021 00:46:27 #
When the tide changes at the mouth of Goleta slough, the fish seem to be easier to catch. Of course, not all parties get along and there is a lot of fish stealing going on! The osprey seemed a bit uncomfortable at his perch and flew off to eat in private. The snowies can eat some pretty large fish!
These were shot mostly at shutter speeds of 1/2500, with the Sony A1 and a GM 100-400 zoom lens with 1.4 teleconverter attached.

Happy with its catch……I think it’s a mullet.

This snowy was catching quite a few of these smaller fish

This snowy flew after another, trying to steal a fish, causing his hair to fluff out

The blue herons have a little hair thing going on, too!

This one dove down, but came up empty!

I’m getting used to that camera but so far I really like it! The bird AF is great!
