Hey that was cool. We get some in winter down here by SPI, always fun to watch them - the juvies wipe out all the time it's kinda funny. They have excellent eyesight, unlike the pelican which goes nearly blind the older it gets.

Cool, I am impressed you know that random bird fact too. They actually have good eyesight, but those high-dives into the water take their toll, and eventually their retinas detach and they go blind. The starvation from not being able to hunt is what kills them, not old age.

That was awesome! In the first catch, I'd caption it, "Got my limit in one cast!" The last one, "Look Ma! One talon!" It was cool too how he turned the fish to make it more aerodynamic. Kind of looked like he was using the fish as a surfboard.
