Excellent series. Just one question. Could it fly after that big meal? I can barely walk after Thanksgiving dinner.
It flew but kinda reminded me of a C5 laden down with tanks when we pilled outta Nam!

Hard to imagine those being good eating! The Cormorant is providing a service by removing some of them. In our area the plecos antagonize the Manatees be attaching to them.
I know, Carol but the Cormorants are so destructive also as they not only eat invasive catfish but they are a joy to photograph and catfish...NOT SO MUCH!

Well, it may not be a pleco, but those are some really great Cormorant shots!

Which are the most invasive? Took about 15 minutes for the cormorant to get this monster down but after a 5 minute respite he went on to get 3 more fish.????
Fantastic sequence, Vic! Usually they dine in the water but this time around the meal was just enormous!

Superb action shots. And truly unbelievable that this cormorant was able to get this huge fish down his throat. Nature is amazing.
