Hooded Merganser with Crayfish

The crayfish was actually too big for the bird to swallow, so it lost it. But it had it isn its beak for a time, trying to get it down.

Too bad. It's probably killed the crawdad, but didn't get to eat it.

Those are the funniest-looking hairdo's. . . .

Lesson learned... Don't try impressing the two females with a bit more than you can handle. But, I bet he scored points for trying!

Lesson is.....never bite off more than you can chew! ;-D

Great catch, even if temporary, both yours and the Merganser's!
