You get a Fish ... I get a fish

I went to see Harriet and PB late this morning and went to the Publix pond and sure enough there they were. In separate tree's towards the back of the pond area like yesterday. No great Gator adventures  today ,I had back up  with me ...LOL Donna showed up not to long after I got there then Lucky, Packrat, Dash-Ted, Sandra and Ted Showed up .  So there gator you couldn't scare me anymore. LOL It wasn't even there today . Have no idea where is was but that's ok too.
Harriet and PB both did some fishing today and changing of tree's. Harriet would get a fish so PB would get a fish. They did this a couple of times and same with changing of the tree's. Harriet would go to the pine then the dead tree,then PB would do that after Harriet. I Had to laugh at the two of them. Just like a couple of kids playing monkey see monkey do. We had an Anhinga fly in and take a dip. PB then flies past the Anhinga to the tree just past it on our right. I'm thinking there just might be bird for lunch. PB sat there watching the Anhinga and it was watching PB. Finally PB flies over the Anhinga and keeps going . Whew that was close. The fish that Harriet and PB were catching were very small ones. I couldn't tell for sure if they caught a fish or not until they were on the banks of the pond and they were eating. Both Harriet and PB are molting right now and some of the flight feathers on both sides are missing but new ones are coming in. I could see the "shorter" ones already replacing the empty spots. Same with their tail feathers. PB still has that one with a bit of black on it thank goodness. Really not much happening. I just enjoy watching them. I left around 1:30 pm .
