    Wow, Ira! What a great job you did of capturing the moment! It is hard to imagine that the Anhinga thought it had a chance to swallow that large fish, but apparently so! Best, Pam

    Actually Pam, he swallowed that bass with no problem at all, and did it in record time.

    Two more shots...........

    Nice work Ira, its greta when they catch the big fish because they usually come on shore to eat them allowing one to get some striking close-ups.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
