Anhinga with Catfish 3

18 Jan 2013 262
This is the last in a series of 3. As the anhinga was beginning the swallowing process, the catfish moved, he began the slapping/ beating again, and kept it up for quite some time. I kept watching and he finally did swallow the fish; unbelievable to see the entire fish disappear down his throat!!. Unfortunately, the anhinga's head was facing directly toward me and even though I kept shooting, I could not position myself at an angle to capture decent images of the actual swallowing without risking falling into the swamp!! Amazing to see! Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments! I wish I could thank each of you personally. Have a great creative day! Kathleen

Anhinga with Catfish 2

This is the second in a series of 3. The anhinga is beginning the swallowing process after literally beating the catfish to death. I watched for a long time as he slapped/smacked the fish against the tree trunk. Then he would stop and if the catfish moved, he would start again to smack it around. He cannot swallow the fish until it is dead. As you will see in the next 2 images, he swallows the fish whole. Amazing to see!

Great Blue Heron Wading

21 Jan 2013 181
The swamp water is not covered with algae or scum, but an aquatic plant of tiny, tiny green leaves. This heron stood perfectly still before taking one very slow step and then holding still again before taking the next step. Evidently, looking for lunch!

This is the first in a series of 3. The anhinga was literally beating the living daylights out of this catfish. I watched for a long time as he slapped/smacked the fish against the tree trunk. Then he would stop and if the catfish moved, he would start again to smack it around. He cannot swallow the fish until it is dead. As you will see in the next 2 images, he swallows the fish whole.
