Cormorant catches a catfish!
Cano Negro, Costa Rica
HOW I GOT THE SHOT: We were exploring the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge by boat. As we cruised the shoreline, a cormorant popped up alongside us just a few feet away. In its beak was a large fish which it tossed in the air to get it oriented perfectly to be swallowed whole. I quickly fired off as many images as I could as I ran down the length of the boat trying to stay even with the bird. This shot was my favorite as it seemed the bird and fish were going eye-to-eye. It's hard not to speculate what the fish was thinking at this moment.
