The Fisherman

Blue Heron makes his catch. The catch itself is quite impressive, the eating part is still mystifying - how often do they lose the fish once they open their mouth to the swallow stage.

If I were that tiny fish I would count on that giant beak opening up at some point and would have my escape route planned well in advance - a quick back flip off the lower jaw to freedom. And if I were that heron I would anticipate the old back flip escape trick and crunch down before opening my giant over sized beak. Am I overthinking this I wonder.
