Hi Bill, Thanks for visiting my galleries. To answer your question, this Cormorant flew in and landed near us (on the Anhinga Trail) with a large 'walking catfish'. It was so large he could not easily swallow it and as he flopped it this way and that, manipulating it to get it down, it began to bleed. He eventually did get it down though, much to the amazement of the small crowd that had gathered!
Cheers, Jack

Hi Jack, Why was this bird bloody? They eat whole fish don't they?
