Just a single shot this time.
I’m often blown away by the ability of some species to swallow huge prey whole when I have trouble gulping down anything much larger than an aspirin without chewing it first.

A few months ago I watched and photographed this Pied-billed Grebe for 13 minutes as it tried to get this fish down its gullet. Other grebes attempting to steal the prize didn’t make the process an easy one but eventually the bird was successful. It’s not readily apparent in this shot but the fish was much wider than the head of the grebe.
I could hardly believe what I saw…

Ah, my goodness! That was my immediate response, now I am still amazed!
I agree with Bryan. You have an amazing talent for catching these behavioral shots. Great going, Ron.
Nicely done. The avian behavior you capture really is impressive.
Determination encapsulated in one photo!
