Great image Monte, the detail is excellent. Amazing they can swallow clams whole. 7/7a

Great shot as always! He's such a beautiful bird in an ugly kind of way :). What amazes me is not about this guy swallowing the clam whole, but it is about this guy swallowing over 10 clams whole in one sitting.

Yeah, you would think he would sink.

Beautiful reflection and waves. Best regards.
