    It looked like a plecostamus headscratch.gif (spelling may be screwed up on that), like I used to have in my fish tank. They have nice barbs in thier fins, I'm surprised that birdie was able to get him down. But I guess he was smart enough to spin him around.

    Pretty cool capture!

    Excellent sequense. I am always amazed at how those birds are able to swallow their catches. Haven't seen anything like that since I had dinner with Andy. rolleyes1.gif

    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!"

    Oh, My nice fish story, smile! Really nice catches!

    My birds would be envious, too.

    Thanks to all for viewing and commenting
    I was out of town for the weekend (got to work sometime) and am now getting back.
    It indeed seemed like quit an ordeal for the Cormorant downing such a big catch. Makes me feel fortunate for the ability to savor small portions of my food before swallowing. But, then again, when it comes to money...hmmm:eat
