158 - HUSBAND

Husband - to use resources economically; conserve

This group of Great Whites, joined by one Great Blue, were all grouped around one little, still wet, marshy area that apparently was over populated with crawfish and tadpoles. There was abundant food for all.

I sat parked in my car on the auto route watching them. Snapping shots every which way...when I wasn't amused and amazed at the 'dancing' they were doing. Rather, the bickering and fighting they were doing over the food. They definitely had no intention to husband their energy. Flopping and jumping. Flying here...over two feet...back five. Fluffing the feathers. Snapping at each other. Crooning their necks high and cackling so all could hear.

I think I was more exhausted than they were. Even I didn't have a chance to husband my energy...twisting and turning, focusing, snapping. Stopping. Watching. Smiling. Sigh.
