Great blue heron, 9:25 AM, when I arrived

9:43 AM: when I returned from walking one lap: with its catch

Impaled

Attempts to swallow whole failed

Note use of bill to spear the fish.

Finally, positioned to swallow head first, 9:45 AM, two minutes later

Note the bulging neck

A drink of water or two to help the fish go down, drying the head off afterwards

Cedar waxwing

Mute swan
