Almost Missed a Bite

Try black if you can. It just wouldn't all fit in - you can still see the shape of the fish he's swallowing. Stayed under several seconds until he came up and threw his head back - gulp!

I've seen them do that. Always amazes me how elastic their bills and throats are. That's a great capture.
