The Anhinga couldn't open his mouth wide enough to swallow this perch, and finally let him go free, although battered and pierced a bit.

That's not a perch. Beautiful picture though.

Good catch! No, really goog catch.

Nice one, Chris. A classic case of the eyes being bigger than... the mouth.

This is a stunner Chris. Very dynamic stop action and technically superior! It must have been a thrill to watch this drama happen.

Beautifully done. This anhinga must not be a breeding bird because it has no mating colors on it i.e. the eye lore. Beautiful colors on the poor perch.

He must have expended a lot of energy on this fish. Well captured.
