The Lagoon

We left for the lagoon shortly after breakfast. We were able to watch heron's fighting over fish, a heron snatching a fish from a little boy's fishing pole, an osprey diving and catching a fish. The only problem with the lagoon is the biting flies. The weather is perfect and the gulf is still very warm.

An osprey diving for a fish. It caught one but I couldn't get the picture of the bird carrying the fish, it headed over the lagoon the wrong direction.
Had to take this picture of the heron in flight.
coming in for landing!
Another of the many herons on the lagoon waiting for someone to catch a fish.
The fish the heron is eating is a croaker. It was croaking like crazy trying to get away.
This is the heron taking off with the fish before the other heron could get near to grab it.
