Crawfish for lunch!

I caught this yellow crowned night heron in the act of flipping his lunch around to swallow it. They will often do this and crunch the hard shell until it is soft enough to go down their throat. It almost looks as if they are playing with their food. If you are close enough, you can actually hear the crunching sound.
