Found these two just sitting around picking their beaks I guess.
Think #2 has a bit of a problem getting it down.

Made me have to swallow. Seems like the Heimlich is in order?

Really pretty shots, John. I love the first one with the blur you got from shooting through the leaves.

yeah, that bird's not choking down a big meal, just has its neck kinked a bit... herons do that often. when they're swallowing a fish, especially a large one, they don't bend their necks like that... it's much easier to swallow when the pipe is straight, so to speak...

Thanks for looking at it.
Really makes one take a second look the first t ime they see it. There are a lot of strange sight out on the Atchafalaya, guess thats why I love it so much.
