Breakfast is Served

[Harv]

A Red-breasted Merganser drake enjoying an early morning breakfast of Goby. This was taken at one of my usual haunts... our local harbor. The Goby is an invasive species here so it's nice to see this duck reducing the population.

Shot with 1D4, 300/2.8L IS plus 2xTC III

Thanks for looking.

I think you are right ... but from this angle it looks so much like a rat.

Thanks for the clarification - I was unsure too.

Weasels are great hunters - I once saw one dragging a small rabbit, probably heavier that the weasel itself.

Great shot!

I see ... I've never seen those creatures before, so for me they are look like rats ... good shot.

Great shot, Harv. I wish I was out there shooting today... I'll take your Merganser and raise you one with a pair of youngsters (but your breakfast is much more filling):

Here's a bigger fish, but wrong bird:
