Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[fisheyeview]

When I watched him yesterday, I noted that he would occasionally "fluff" the eggs three or four times in succession. Went back today and made an effort to catch that action with both stills and video. Had "some" success. Here's the first one I've gotten to.

Nice shot Kevin.

I took a quick pool course in the bahamas over 25 years ago with a bunch of buddies (all non
divers, drinking buddies). My friend was given what amounted to and looked like a home-made
plexi-glass case with a very basic inexpensive camera contained within. I actually took it with me
and got a few photos with it. I think I have a copy of the pics (from a scan), way before digital photos.
Wish I had gotten a picture of the case !

Great dive, indeed. After filling out all the paperwork in triplicate and agreeing to all stipulations concerning divulgations, one of the J's and the crusty one pointed out a couple of bridge critters that I wouldn't have found on my own in a million years. And here I thought I was becoming decent at finding things. . . Having trouble getting my pics uploaded to the site, so I'll just stop here.

Expecting to meet Biminitwist there tomorrow.

Yes indeed great dive! I dove with Ben and Jim today. Since I was diving with Ben I knew we'd see spotted eagle rays (his totem) and since it was me I knew we'd see my totem. When all was done: two spotted eagle rays, four totems, three octopuses, two southern stingrays, two batfish, jawfish with eggs, jawfish without eggs, school of five of the biggest barracuda I have ever seen at the bridge, and a diving cormorant. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh - Jim demonstrating his Harlem Globetrotter basketball twirling skills underwater. Really. With one hand.

75 degrees. You can see viz from the below photos: 30-40 ft. It got milky towards the end as always.

Good news. I got the little notice that there is a package at the post office. My underwater housing has arrived.

A couple video stills from today.

I may have seen that diving cormorant myself. Just north of the little bridge toward the center I see some flashes and look over
and seems as if something has got a large fish or something it its' mouth, there was some thrashing about and then whatever it
may have been made a beeline to the surface. Craziest thing I have seen in a while at the bridge. Saw small southern ray to north
of bridge and spotted eagle ray to south of bridge just as I was finishing up my dive. Excellent conditions and a great day to be at the
bridge.
