Field Notes

Description:

Sorry the photos are not to clear, long shot. This bird is a fish eater and in a later shot was eating a fish.

Habitat:

Common to most waterways in Indiana. A diving bird.

Notes:

Same day that I saw this bird there were several Sandhill Cranes and some Eagles and some ring billed gulls. All around the same lake.
