Can't swallow

[murali]

Just northeast of Naples, FL is a terrific spot to photograph a variety of birds - CREW Rookery Swamp Trails (https://maps.app.goo.gl/TjbMB4gwS1EmATdC8). You can shoot both birds and alligators right from the parking lot. No hiking. On weekdays, no crowd. No fee. The black crowned night heron was trying to swallow a fish for over 5 minutes. I never saw it finish the job as it walked away into the swamp with the fish still dangling from her mouth.

That effort looks like it could be hazardous to your health if you choke on it. Nice shot.

That sounds like a really great place! Florida is not on my list of favorite places to go, but I will keep that in mind.

Great capture of this heron trying to choke down it's food.
