Feeding Frenzy

Martin Luther King Shoreline, Arrowhead Marsh, Oakland, CA

When Cormorants form a hunting party and ensnare a school of fish, it doesn't take long for other birds to spot it and take advantage of the free lunch. In this very distant shot are a Cormorant, Forster's Tern and Brown Pelicans.

A fascinating (and lucky) composition, compensates for the lack in picture quality. Right?
