This bird (a juvenile cormorant ?) put on a display of fishing prowess for us yesterday. It would disappear underwater in pursuit of fish for what seemed like minutes at a time. I captured it as it surfaced and proudly displayed its catch for us. Then it deftly manoeuvred the fish in its hooked beak and swallowed it.

Another fantastic shot Rick. What a great capture to get this bird just before it's lunch... poor fish! The water looks so amazingly, I'd almost forgotten how a body of water looks with everything frozen over here.

Thank you Darlene - I managed to get a few shots of him (her ?) as he juggled the fish before it (the fish) disappeared. C'est la vie. Have a great weekend !
Thank you kindly Magda ! Nice that the bird took its time.
LOL Joseph ! Pretty scary being a fish with one of these after you ;-)
Ha ha - this birdie was co-operating by not moving around too much - he was totally focused on dinner while I focused on him ! Thanks Becky.
