Male Surf Scoter - Down the hatch

Shoreline Park Lake, Mountain View, Ca

Quote from the web: "All mollusc- feeding sea fowl have strong and powerful gizzards that mechanically and readily break the shells into small pieces upon which the chemical secretions more quickly operate."

Incredible feat. Thanks for the info as I was surprised that it didn't break the shell open. Great documentation of the habits of this bird. Voted.
