What a fish story






The saga of the great blue herons and the fish. In the top photo this guy caught a large fish and could barely carry it. He used his chest to support it. His pal wanted to share, but that was not going to happen. The fisherman dropped the still live fish in the water and then stabbed it with his beak to kill it. Then he and his chum fluffed their feathers and strutted around to see who would eat the fish until the first guy had enough and took the poor fish in his beak again. The fourth photo shows him opening his beak and swallowing the whole fish and the last photo it is going down while his friend watches the process. Note how large his throat expands. Quite an exquisite thing for us to see.
