Mouthful
by Gary Robertshaw

Morro Bay, California

Fish having a really bad day.
These pelicans were having a feeding frenzy, and I took a lot of photos;
I had been trying to catch one as he caught a fish, but they dive a lot, so there are many false alarms.
I didn't expect to get an actual view of the fish inside, it just so happened I saw hime come up and got this just when the angle was right.
Being an overcast day, the fish wasn't in shade so it showed up nicely.

I like the mixture of textures in this shot ...... plus, I had to laugh at that title. Great!

Great pic! I was fortunate enough to catch a heron looking for dinner once...as soon as he stuck his head in the water, I used the burst and was able to snap him catching and eating a fish.

Good timing, Gary. The pelican's eyes are great! How many shots did you take?
