Double-crested Cormorant

Here are a few images from the 215 image sequence I shot yesterday. The Cormorant tryed to turn the fish 90 deg so he could swallow it. Finally he dove underwater where he must have either lost the fish or it got away. When the Cormorant surfaced without the fish he flew west along the river. After some time has passed he flew back in with a fish but landed out of my view.
I used my D3s and 600mm F:4g VR and a TC 1.4 EII for a total focal length of 850mm, that's what my meta data tells me.

This total sequence was 215 frames long so here are just a few of them. He was trying to flip the fish 90 deg so he could swallow it. He finally dove under water and when he came up he didn't have the fish. I don't know if he gulped it down underwater or if the fish got away. Once he surfaced he flew west down river. I used my D3s and 600mm F:4gVR and TC 1.4 EII for a total lens length of 850mm. This is what my meta data tells me. In the final image he flew back with a fish but flew out of my view.
