This Anhinga swallowed this fish really fast. I know it looks big, but once he got out of the water he put it down quick. The zoomed image is after he was done. Did you notice the flower that got caught on his beak? Cropped and resized.
It's amazing how the birds get a huge fish in their beaks and you wonder...can they actually swallow that? and they do. This is a wonderful photo..caught at just the right time..simply amazing!
excellent catch on this Rustin, I know this was not a easy shot to get. I would have like to see a little more light/flash on the bird to tie the whole image together better, it is a bit hard to see at first what has the fish, but nice image..
