Mika, That Cormorant kept diving head first beneath the water with the fish in it's mouth and then re-surfacing. They do dive underwater to catch their prey and I wondered if it was getting more water in it's mouth to aid in swallowing or perhaps it was positioning itself for a better angle to swallow that fish. It sure is interesting to watch birds like the Cormorant (and also Herons and Egrets) swallow those big fish, especially when their necks look so skinny!



I think Lin's thinking on this sounds right.
Great shots Lin!!!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
