Wonderful capture Ronald but a fearsome looking creature, I don't think I want to be on the receiving end of that beak when it's making a dive for breakfast..

Thanks, Maurice. They don't often miss their fish. There is a splash, then the bird flies off for a meal.

Bonne nouvelle semaine Ronald.

I doubt he is angry. He had been sitting in a different tree a few minutes before (in a previous photo) and flew to this dead tree. Their call sounds a little angry, but I don't think they really are. Thanks for the visit and comment, Jocelyne.

Thanks a lot, Janet. I am lucky to have this guy living nearby, but I deny having great timing. It sat in the other tree for 10 or 15 minutes while I took a bunch of photos, then flew to this dead pine tree and posed for quite a while longer.

Thank you, Marie-claire. He is a diver. If you have watched the olympics, you may have noticed the hair of the divers and swimmers.
