I am not sure if this is the right place to post this.
If not please advise me of the best place to post it.
I am not to sure this is an F-15.
But I caught it just as it started to lower it landing
gear. It had no military markig I could see.
Comments welcome

Now I got it - Now I don't

Posted By August R. Orlandi

Here are 2 pictures I took at the Winter Star Party
on the gulf side of a Double-crested Cormorant trying
to swallow a Triple-tailed or 3 tailed fish.
In the process a Ring-billed Gull dives down and takes the
fish away.
I didn't quit get it as it took it out of the Cormorant mouth.
But a couple seconds later. It caught me off guard.
The 1st one is of the Cormorant tryoing to swallow the fish
and 2nd one is ofthe Ring-blled Gull flying of with it.

around that day.
