A Bite of Sushi

Speaking of lunch, I realise it has been a while since I ate sushi. This guy sure likes it. The egret even uses its beak like chopsticks! :D

While walking around the lake in Rockville, something large and white rose up out of the tall grass to my left about 10-15 feet away. Point camera, zoom, focus, shoot, shoot, shoot.

When editing in Lightroom, I noticed a dark spot in the open beak of the egret. I zoomed in and saw a fish!

 

SQUIRREL! EATING! LUNCH!

Rockville Park, on a bright sunny day. And the 45-200mm Lumix lens. Waterfowl was my goal for the day, but any small critter will do. This little guy was in the shade relaxing and enjoying some lunch when I happened by. Even at 200mm I still cropped this photo really tight. Any closer and he would have dashed off in fear. It's a tough life for a squirrel. Even after stashing away a lot of food, squirrels have to deal with this: "3. Squirrels may lose 25% of their buried food to thieves."
