Lake Nelson has the best fish

This female hooded merganser must have seen the kingfisher photos on the blog. She was fishing a few feet from where the kingfisher was last week.

Unknown said...: Amazing captures and blog here! I initially noticed your "Merganser vs Fish" shots. That looks like some battle and even a huge fish staring down its captor’s throat!

So the bird was really able to win the struggle and gulp down that big fish okay?? Does the prey put up a good fight, if eaten, does the unlucky fish get swallowed wriggling/alive all the way as well?!
