Down the hatch! Cormorant swallows its fishy breakfast

I admit, after being in the military, I eat pretty fast but these guys beat me hands down. 😉 

While the rest of my camping crew slept in yesterday, I was sitting on the edge of a pond, enjoying the warm morning, sipping coffee and taking pictures. There wasn’t too much action but enough to keep me entertained.

It was a lot of fun to watch these guys fish and invariably then get besieged by pelicans trying to steal their meal. Certainly, their ability to swallow their catch quickly and whole worked to their advantage in those cases.
