Cormorant fishing. Normally, I skip these rather common water fowl, but I caught this one successfully fishing. In the first shot, the bird is finishing off one fish, but almost immediately spots and grabs a second. The cormorant flips the fish up and down, back and forth, in and out of the water for a spell (presumably to tire it out?) before positioning the fish for a head-first swallow. 
Finishing a tasty starter.
"You looking at me!?!!"
Got a 2nd one.
In position
And down it goes!

My plans for the weekend were to go after the Inca Tern - to see it again. So, Saturday I took the 200-500 (since prime 500 on that place was not the proper one) and went to a beach park to get back customized to the lens (main difference - VR is "ON" with an opposite move of the slider (Nikon are the Masters in these jokes
!). Also to check my new hiking shoes - important attribute if I was going down the cliff to get to the Inca, especially on wet stones...
Got a strange (again - second time!) photos of Pacific Golden Plover - 4 primaries visible and the tail is significantly shorter than the last tips of the primaries. On other hand to much golden spots (but in transition from breeding to non-breeding plumage one can expect something like this?). Why it's so important for me? - The American Golden Plover is still not proven to come to Hawaii. These molting plovers are real pain somewhere... The results from today (Sunday) are at BIF.
