    Cormorant with Halibut

    Witnessed this scene the other day, it was very far away though. Shot with my 300mm and cropped.

    That's a cool shot. It's amazing what large fish birds can get down their gullets. Good thing a game warden didn't catch them. I'm pretty sure that halibut is below the size limit

    Thanks everyone but to clear it up the one behind only appears small it was actually chasing the one trying to steal it.

    Thanks Roger, but the way it is shown here it is as if the larger one is carrying a baby, though they do not.
