    Wonderful birds and a great image. I got the same idea, but with different fish catchers...

    @ VP - I think I may have stolen your idea and then looked for a photo with different fish catchers! Thanks! I like to mine your mind!

    (I took this shot a couple of weeks ago on a rather nice evening in Lake Sumter Landing.)

    Great theme day posting! Those birds will have to WAIT for a longgggg time for fish 'cuz fish are in the water, not up on the sidewalk!

    Do you have to 'WAIT' while finding some thing to mine in his mind? MB

    @ Small City Scene - You betcha! But it's always worth the WAIT as there's so much to mine in VP's mind!

    @ Safe Leif - Tsk, tsk. Whatever am I going to do with you? The birds are not on the sidewalk, they're on a post on a pier that juts out over the water and they can see fish in the water very clearly and when they see one they like and have sufficient energy they dive down and ZAP! - that fish is gone!

    Shortly after this photo was taken, the anhinga took off for places unknown. Then, the egret followed a short time later, zooming out over the water seeking new fishies while alligators snoozed with only their beady little eyes breaking the surface.

    All in all, a fine evening for everyone concerned. Well, except for a few unfortunate fish.

    Is this a great world or what? Again, fish exempted.

    Gotta love Florida in the winter. I'm hungry for some snapper or grouper now. Wonder if they still are costing an arm and a leg???
