What was that the bird was eating?
 
What was that the bird was eating?

great question(it was a fish). we were motoring into my canal system and elected not to stop and get a closer view. i intially thought a juvenile parrotfish/wrasse but not so sure now. i was suprised he/she was able to swallow the fish whole,,

nice pix tim, where have you been phil?
 
Great pics as always. But I worry whenever I see a free swimming remora. 1: where is whatever it was attached to? and 2: one once tried to attach itself to my head and yanked out a bunch of hair. Simultanenous moment of freak-out/pissed off/ouch!

Thank you Jet. Don't see the remoras free like that too often. This one stayed under the boat the entire time.

Bet the head shot hurt!
 
Great shots! What kind of camera are you using?

Thank you.

I use a Nikon D300 in a Seacam housing with two Ikelite 160 strobes.
The lens for these shots was a 17-55mm, which is a great lens for the Keys since we see large and small animals on the same dive quite often.
