February 4th, 2010 at 6:27 amNice shot. Interesting detail. FYI, from the look of the black and white mottle of the fish and its outline in the cormorant’s throat, it is probably a crappie.

February 5th, 2010 at 2:19 amThat throat must be very elastic to accomodate such a big catch… Great picture! Thanks to Ron for your comment: without it I would have missed the best part!

February 6th, 2010 at 7:40 pmThis is a great shot of typical cormorant behavior. I believe they used to be used for fishing in Japan–fishermen would tie a long cord around the bird’s throat, then allow the bird to dive and fish. The cormorant could eat all the small fish it desired, but when the bird came up with something too big to swallow due to the cord, the fisherman got lunch! Great potd!
