This otter had a fish as it came around the bend in the lake shore. Some plants partially blocking, but you can see enough to know what was happening.
We were lucky enough to watch this heron for several minutes as it struggled to dispatch it's rather large prey.
Any help with the fish identification will gratefully be received. I suspect now that it's a short spined sea scorpion.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

The Fish Crow is very similar to the American Crow, except that it says nuh-uh, instead of caw-caw. I guess it is disagreeable. :-) I spotted this one at Cape May Point State Park.

Artistic framing of a vibrant mural featuring a stylized fish skeleton with a crescent moon-like tail and a colorful seating area on the foreground.
Often seen in artwork, the fish skeleton is associated with the water element in many cultures because water is often seen as a source of life and nourishment.
During the Spring I had a resident Fish Crow that discovered my yard while gathering nesting material for a mate. He started visiting my water fountain every day. My husband wanted to call him Ebenezer but we soon realized that he was a Romeo. Apparently my yard was perfect for courting and he brought his girl friend. I witnessed him gathering a peanut that I leave daily for Blue Jays and gently passed it to his mate. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
"Under the sea!
Under the sea!
Darling it's better,
Down where it's wetter,
Take it from me!"
Lyrics from "Under the Sea" from Walt Disney’s Motion picture, "The Little Mermaid" (1989), written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 24th of January is "fish", which left me with a great many options: I have fish patterned fabric and a jug in the shape of a fish, there are carp painted on a large Moorcroft vase I have and I even have some very real looking fish amongst my 1:12 miniatures collection. However, the fish I have opted for, for this week’s theme, is a more unusual one. I would like to introduce you to Fifi the fish, who is made by Bocchetta Plush Toys, a traditional Italian family-owned business based in Burleigh Heads, Australia, with over half a century of experience in creating hand crafted plush toys, having started business in 1948. She came to me as a result of a conference. I don’t know if I was meant to keep Fifi (yes that is the name she came with), but she slipped into my bag and came home to live with me. Unlike any other kind if fish, Fifi is not cold or slippery, she is soft and squashy. Best of all, she doesn’t need to live in water, and she enjoys cuddles, making her a unique species of fish. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that Fifi makes you smile!

Inspired by a favorite Flickr friend, this little fish image required the carpentry skills of my husband, several shopping trips to find sardines, then a proper bit of light in the house. Mind you, Kipp does not like fish so the rubber gloves were in play. In the end, these large (wanted little bitty ones) sardines ended up with the crows - they quickly gobbled them up ;D
The things we do for a photograph! Egads!
Thanks for popping in!

Eve experiences Le Cirque de Sorcières, celebrates Lughnasadh, and finally gets the fish she’s been wanting!
The osprey (Pandion haliaetus)—also called fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk—is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts
I was exploring the beach at the Bay of Fundy, when I came across this Fish. It really has "Bitten off more than it can chew." It must have choked and drowned.
I'm not sure what the Fish is called - does anyone else have any ideas what type of Fish it is?
391) Brown Fish Owl
Brown Fish Owl, Ketupa zeylonensis, Tumbuk Ketampi Rimba
This species is an all-year resident throughout most tropical and subtropical parts of the Indian Subcontinent to Southeast Asia and adjoining regions. The typical habitat of brown fish owls is forest and woodland bordering streams, lakes or rice fields. It inhabits mainly the lowlands, from open woodland to dense forest as well as in plantations. Brown fish owls frequently hunt in still or stagnant waters. It feeds mainly on fishes, frogs and aquatic crustaceans. Classified as totally protected species in Peninsular Malaysia.
This fish is a new one for me. The tail stripes are very distinctive and I’m hoping one of you can enlighten the rest of us as to its identity. (Osprey – Pandion haliaetus) (Sony a1, 400mm lens with a 1.4 extender yielding 560mm, f/4, 1/4000 second, ISO 640)
Just before posting I sent a copy of the image to Mark Smith, well known a professional wildlife photographer out of Sebastian, Florida, who is the most knowledgeable Osprey and ocean photographer I know. Sure enough, he recognized this critter as an Atlantic Stargazer. They bury in the sand and extend a lure that grows on their head to attract prey. They can administer an electric shock, called bioelectrogenesis. Thanks Mark!
