Stories Beach, looking across to the mainland. One gull. |
He was too far away for my eyes, but the camera saw.
Why wait for low tide, when the fish are feeding? |
He's caught a fairly large fish, with a white belly and a greenish tail.
Hurrying now; gotta get this thing landed! |
A second later, he was hidden behind the rocks.
My guess would be a staghorn sculpin, though a positive ID is difficult without a head or dorsal shot. I'm amused at how easy it seems it is for animals to approach each other to the point of eating another when we humans need a box full of tackle and a fishing line to do the same.
ReplyDeleteInteresting point!
