Royal Palm Area of Everglades National Park



D200 / 300mm

We visited the Everglades National Park last weekend.  It is a great time of year because of all the bird that migrate down for the winter.  This Cormorand had just caught a catfish and battling keeping other birds away and figuring out how to eat the fish.

Nice capture! I like the lighting, action, vivid colors (eyes and beak), and details of the shot.

the fish will be swallowed whole, right? How do they digest that, I wonder?

Great action shot Dolph. The bird probably thought you were after some fried catfish as well.
