I shot this fella in May at the Graue Mill in Hinsdale, IL. When I first saw him, I had no clue what species he was, but he definately enjoys eating fish.

    Hey Frank wave.gif
    Great shots. I think he was full from when you shot him because I've only got one fish shot from this guy. One of these mornings we should meet up there and double team this guy.

    Excellent shot Frank. That 300 2.8 is an outstanding piece of glass.

    Thank you very much Harry. I would certainly agree, it is a sweet lens and my workhorse.

    I would thoroughly enjoy that, Nick. I was also thinking about shooting at the 91st marsh near Waterfall Glen. I have read some nice things about the marsh, it might be worth the trip.
