Great Egret Catches A Fish
.
A Great Egret catches a nice fish. Now the trick is getting it down with no hands and arms!
.
.
With a little tongue and beak maneuvering…..
.
.
To line it up….
.
.
And a tip back of the head and a neck stretch…..
.
.
Down the hatch!
.
.
The Great Egret makes it look so easy!
Sometimes after the swallow, they get a little thirsty.
.
.
A nice gulp helps wash everything down nicely.
.
.
Ah, refreshing…..
.
.
And then a figure-8 water shake-off!
