Goldfish for lunch (Ducky) Surprise

YUP!!! this was a 1st for me.

Quemado Lake is located in the South Western part of New Mexico. Altitude is 7641 feet. The ice is starting to melt so I figured I might get a opportunity for something close to shore. These real cooool looking Duckies (Merganser) showed up and I was busy pressing the shutter when I saw one catch a GOLDFISH. I will repeat a GOLDFISH. I told my pretty wife (Barbara) and she gave me that "You are so full of Sh#@ look.

I looked up on Google "Quemado Lake Goldfish" and yes I found a lot of information. Here is one of the sites I found talking about the goldfish.

Holy cow!! That's a new one! how big do you think those goldfish were?

Big enough that it looks like the duck is trying to figure out how to swallow the sucker. Great captures. I really like #5, and the bright orange in #1 grabs they eye nicely.

Great 'catch' Roger. I wonder how long it takes to digest something like that. Nice series.

Hey Roger,

These are spectacular, Roger!! Thanks for sharing.

Really neat capure! Probably won't see that again! Well, maybe..:)
