Beautiful set, Greg. Love the lighting and the scene you captured. Look like those fish's sharp teeth cannot do any more harm. :-)

Thanks so much, Tam! Brazil was amazing; the experience of being in an exotic place for a short period of time is complementary to planning and observing wildlife at home (and trying over and over again for great shots of the same set of subjects). Now, if I could only spend more time in the Bay Area!

Incredible birds and wonderful captures, but #4 is just fantastic and deserves a place on your wall. Truly amazing. What time of year were you there?
Don
Appreciate it, Don! I was in the Pantanal in mid-September, and all the credit goes to Eric (eyelaser) for travel and location advice. I think anytime between June and September should be pretty good; if I had to do it all over again, I would rent a car and spend a couple days on the transpantaneira.

Such dainty little birds
Wonderful captures each and every one!
Love them all Greg!

Ah, Eric, it's thoughtful of you to stop by, especially since there seems to be a paucity of felids in this set! Hope you're doing well; your enthusiasm and prolific contributions are an inspiration!

Yahoo! Well done and that catch is a first for me and I think on FM as well. Tasty treat for sure but do they digest the teeth? Never really thought about it but dang that is cool
Love the layout of your post, from flight shot to family and close-ups the effort is top notch.
Take care,
Brian
Thanks so much, Brian; the opportunity to observe Mr. Jabiru for a longer period of time would allow a definitive answer, but I suspect that teeth are treated (from a digestive perspective, that is) similarly to other elements of the skeleton. Thanks for stopping by! ~Greg

Wow, awesome set Greg , love them all but the last two are excellent, the last one being a huge mural sized wall hanger for me for sure.

This is an amazing series Greg! The fly in is just perfect, as I love this perspective...
The final image... Jabiru v Piranha is just crazy good... looks like the fish lost
