p.1 #1 · Anhinga eats a fish

The Anhinga AKA Water Turkey is an excellent fisherman, but after watching all the work and struggle to eat the capture, one must wonder if it is worth the effert.....

Ira -
Such a skinny little neck, and such a big fish! It never ceases to amaze me how different birds can eat something larger than you would reasonably expect to be the limit of their swallowing capabilities. Great captures of a great opportunity.

Ira,

I'm sure the Anhinga thought it was well worth the effort.

What a catch

Lil - taking a break from all that I'm supposed to be doing....

incredible action series...with the first photo, I thought the bird would have trouble with that fish

#5 says it all - excellent capture.

I'm also amazed that it can eat such a big fish whole. And given the way they usually flop around for so long when I go fishing, I can imagine he's going to have a bit of indigestion for a while.

Nice series.

Ira, such a great sequence! That was a nice bass that went down the hatch. Looks like the difficult thing is how to get it off the beak once speared and not loose it

I love the toss and swallow shot, great concentration on your part and these look very good to me!
