Comments always welcome, and they certainly have some interesting habits and a unique niche in the world. I still marvel that they can spot prey even when the winds have the water's surface whipped to a froth. They've put on an amazing recovery in our region, with nests every mile or so along many of our major water ways. They were quite rare about 25 years ago. Not many though out here in arid southeast Oregon.
As to photography - I've been wondering if one could stake out a tethered white fish (non game) near the water's surface with some light leader and lure one out of the sky for some close up images from a blind. They hit the water like a bowling ball when doing a dive, but chasing a bird in flight with auto focus systems and anything in the back ground is near impossible. One could sit up manually though for a fixed target and maybe score some action images that way.
