22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Big Catch

While on a boat in a river, we saw this cormorant catch a big armored catfish. The catch was so big that he could not swallow it immediately. A hawk and a stork in the neighborhood saw the action and were eager to steal it. The cormorant took notice and raced on the log where he could swallow the meal.
