BOTTOMS UP by PHOTOGRAPHER RICK FURMANEK
I watched this Neotropic Cormorant for several hours as he would disappear under water and often return to the surface with a catch. While I came away with a lot of wonderful ... even comical ... images, I think I liked this one the best. Ref. 6217

I've always had a passion for artistic expression with my camera. As an industry specialist in the mid-90's I served as the Operations Manager/Technical Trainer in the Apple Computer technical support division in Tempe, AZ, just when PowerMacs were hitting the scene. This exposure served to influence my move from film to digital photography. The Apple QuickTake was my first digital camera. From there I moved to Olympus and finally settled on Canon. Self-taught in both photography and digital processing, I count myself fortunate to have had access to Adobe Photoshop almost daily for 20+ years. I hope to always remain a student of the craft. Along the journey I've been fortunate to have had my work recognized by organizations such as...

Just stumbled across this interesting capture again! That must be some hungry bird! Still, it seems difficult to me that the bird can deal with this large fish! So the bird was actually able to fit (swallowed alive?!) that whole thing down its long/skinny throat completely somehow?? I have never witnessed an event like this before. I feel somewhat perplexed over how it actually happens, wouldn't the fish stand a chance of escaping or even damaging (it’s sharp fins, wriggling, biting, etc.) the bird's throat/stomach if eaten in that condition?! It’s hard for me to imagine that the formidable-looking fish (wouldn't the prey also go into a desperate "survival mode" once it realized that it hit the stomach?) doesn't turn around inside the elastic gullet and how the bird can keep down/digest such an object with no issues? I don't have much knowledge about these events and am mostly curious, I appreciate any feedback/explanation. Sorry for all of the questions, have a good week ;)
Rick Furmanek replied:
Kyle, Thanks for your inquiry. This is not the biggest fish I've seen cormorants eat. They swallow it very quickly. Have not heard of one running into trouble once swallowed. You would think there would be some danger with something this large in your stomach, but they seem to do it with ease. Happy New Year!
Kyle Dig
Amazing capture! That looks like a big fish (do you know what kind?) staring down its captor's throat here! So does the bird really manage to win the battle and gulp that whole thing okay? Does the fish put up a good fight, if eaten does the unlucky prey get swallowed wriggling all the way down as well?!
Rick Furmanek replied:
Thank you for your comments. It is a carp. Yes, the bird won the battle. It seemed to gulp it down with little problem. Pretty amazing to witness.
