Hooded Merganser with Crayfish

D300s-012910_188.jpg
The crayfish was actually too big for the bird to swallow, so it lost it. But it had it isn its beak for a time, trying to get it down.

Too bad. It's probably killed the crawdad, but didn't get to eat it.

Gorgeous birds!

Good catch Vern, such incredible markings on the bird.

Those are the funniest-looking hairdo's. . . .

Lesson learned... Don't try impressing the two females with a bit more than you can handle. But, I bet he scored points for trying!

Lesson is.....never bite off more than you can chew! ;-D

Great catch, even if temporary, both yours and the Merganser's!
