Tongue Got Your Cat...fish? 1790
A double crested cormorant takes to the air with a freshly caught catfish. It knows that, within seconds, other cormorants will fly in and try to steal its meal. It will spend the next moments trying to evade competitors and attempting to orient the fish to be swallowed whole, head first.
Cormorants are ancient birds. It is believed that ancient ancestors of similar structure may date back to the time of dinosaurs. They have been described as having an appearance of something between a duck and a loon, but at times I think they almost appear dragon-like. You will frequently see them on riverbanks and shorelines sunning themselves with open wings. Aside from being fast fliers they are also agile underwater swimmers, propelling themselves with their feet and wings. #ILoveNature #ILoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Maryland #Nature in #America #Cormorants #birds #birding #Wildlife #DrDADBooks #Canon #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
