A Cormorant In Dificulty

I was told that the Cormorant swallowed a fish and It wasn't swallowed completely. Hence the bend in the neck. We all watched anxiously till it went down and he took off. 2.5 million dollar motorhomes wasn't the only excitement.

Sure thankful we as a species seem to have a better ingestion mechanism. Great catch, and seemingly happy ending for the commerant.

Ouch, that had to hurt! Great catch of the wing spread.

Must happen often for a creature with no teeth and needs gravity to pass food into their stomach... .. interesting that if a human catches a fish too small they should throw it back, if the Cormorant catches a fish too big he should throw it back

A great image of the spread wings - too bad the bird had eyes bigger than his neck!
