Flying Fish
Our good buddy Mr. A was having himself a fun time in the salt marsh last night. He was sloshing around in a land locked pool of water that was created by the low tide. A lot of fish were trapped in there and Mr. A knew it. Here he was banging his nose against the edge of the pool after herding a group of fish into a corner. The panicked fish were jumping all over in an attempt to escape the hungry alligator. A few lucky fish managed to survive and lived to tell the tale and swim another day!

I think you need to get a job with National Geographic if you haven’t already ! Amazing! Is this an Estuary ? Once on a cruise I watched Flying Silver fish all night from my balcony but not nearly so close of course.

I appreciate your very kind words thanks!
This is a salt water inlet that is tide dependent.

I’m sure the fish that survived will have hair raising stories to tell to their kids!

He sure was snapping away and he was at it for quite a long time, he had to be quite full.

You are so good at being in the right place with your camera at the right time! Great (and funny, although not for the fish) photos, Phil.

I did find myself laughing a bit at the plight of the poor fish as they jumped about wildly. But I’m sure the fish do not see it that way at all, but so it goes in nature.
Thanks Deb!
