Oh interesting! That must be some hungry bird! Still, it seems difficult to me that the bird can deal with this large fish! So the bird was actually able to fit (swallowed alive?!) that whole thing down its long/skinny throat completely somehow?? I have never witnessed an event like this before. I feel somewhat perplexed over how it actually happens, wouldn't the fish stand a chance of escaping or even damaging (it’s sharp fins, wriggling, biting, etc.) the bird's throat/stomach if eaten in that condition?! It’s hard for me to imagine that the formidable-looking fish (wouldn't the prey also go into a desperate "survival mode" once it realized that it hit the stomach?) doesn't turn around inside the elastic gullet and how the bird can keep down/digest such an object with no issues? I don't have much knowledge about these events and am mostly curious, I appreciate any feedback/explanation. Sorry for all of the questions, have a good week ;)

Amazing capture here too! That looks like a big fish (do you know what kind?) caught and staring down the captors throat! So does the bird really manage to win the battle and gulp that whole thing okay? Does the fish put up a good fight, if eaten, does the unlucky prey get swallowed wriggling all the way as well?!

Thanks, Kyle! It might have been a catfish. The Cormorant finally got the fish down its throat. Sometimes, they play with the fish first by tossing it up in the air. I think that's partially because they are trying to position the fish with the head first. A big fish like that usually puts up a little bit of a fight. But, the Cormorant usually wins.
