Great timing Bonnie, they don't generally hold the fish in their beak long enough to capture a photo, they usually have the fish down their throat in a quick second! #11102852

I was going to write the same thing as Debbie - I've never been lucky enough to catch one with a dangling fish in it's beak -usually it's halfway down the gullet - they're quick when it comes to eating! :) Super timing and a great capture, Bonnie! #11103839
