No. But if it was, your picture would qualify!

Lake Apopka, showing off!
This is the second GBH swallowing a Snake this past weekend at the wildlife drive.
I thought someone was saying we haven't showed enough respect for the show offered.
So here is a more extensive set showing how much difficulty these birds go through to get a good meal down the gullet.
At one point He/She got the Snake most of the way down tail first, then decided that wasn't going to work. Hacked it back up and started over!!
It could be the same bird as the first one I showed. Pretty sure it's not the same Snake!

Thank you, texan! Yes, it was a lot of fun. But not for the snake! And, as I said, the second like encounter in a weekend! Glad you liked them.

The first time I saw this in real life I was amazed watching the lump go down the bird's neck. Great series of photos CPO.

Wow! Not only tack sharp images, but a great action sequence. You just happen to be at the right place at the right time and oh boy that snake was putting up a fight. I don’t know how long it took him to finally get eaten, but it looks like he was really giving it his best shot to get away. I always enjoy Your posts you seem to always be able to catch the the catch. Thanks for sharing.
Bruce.
