Home Forums Gear Photography Yesterday in the swamp: Otters and birds

These guys are not the cute, cuddly critters you see on Animal Planet. They are big, tough, small-alligator eating water pit bulls that can rip you a new [bleep].


This one turned out a little soft, but his teeth were visible so I kept it. He was diving and bringing up crawfish and crushing them and eating them whole.


He just swallowed a small crab.


Watching.


Not as many birds as last year.



Lots of Tundra Swans.


And Pintails, with some Shovelers, Gadwalls and Widgeon among them.

Not my truck. But this is what happens when you try and test the swamp. Poor guys submerged his engine and much of his cab.

Otter and Heron are tough subjects not given to posing. Hard shots to do well on.

Great pics.
