A River Otter (Lontra Canadensis) enjoying a meal of it's freash caught Red-Eared Slider (Tachemys Scripta Elegans) in Luces Bayou, Lake Houston, Houston, Texas, USA. To have my first Otter photograph to be this awesome is amazing. I was in my kayak and paddling to photograph this bird when I saw movement to my right. I picked up my camera and focused to see this little guy having lunch. I snapped off a few shots with the intention of moving to get a better angle, but he took off (with his turtle) right after snapping this shot. The IBIS in the OMD's is amazing. This photo was taken handheld from a moving (slowly drifting right to left of otter) kayak, while twisting body as far as possible to the right, at an effective 600mm, with a shutter speed of 1/320.
