p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · ***WOW***



I was outing scouting last week at the WA coast Oyster beds, before the invasion of Eagles, Blue Herons, Seagulls, crows, and lots of Photographers from all over the country the next couple weeks, when hell breaks loose. The fish, called Midshipman, begins it spawning season and when the tides are low, they get trapped in pools of water and the feast begins.
It was peaceful and some activity, I looked out, and all I could say is WOW. Goes to show you when a BH’s beck pierces the water you never know what you are going to get and amazingly he flew away without issue.
Enjoy,
Chris S.

It always blows me away seeing the size of prey GBH's can swallow. This is certainly no exception.

That's a great catch by both of you. Great action series ! I think # 3 shows size comparison best.

Great sequence and heads up to plan a trip soon to the coast. I wonder how long that fish wiggles around inside the bird!

Nice series of this GBH. All I can think of is how much discomfort it feels trying to digest that huge meal

I think Pelican is somewhere in the bloodline of this GBH! That is crazy and great sequence on your part.

Aptly titled--fabulous documentation of the BH downing that spiny meal, Chris!

You had a favorable conditions and a great front row seat to capture each gulp.
