2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Anhinga, Lettuce Lake Regional Park, Tampa, Florida, United States
Speared A Big One

Species: Anhinga | Location: Lettuce Lake Regional Park, Tampa, Florida, United States

While walking on the boardwalk at Lettuce Lake Regional Park in Tampa Florida I spotted this Anhinga swimming and diving so I got my camera ready and to my surprise he surfaces with this large fish speared. He tried to toss it up and swallow it but lost it. A minute later a Wood Stork snapped up what I believe was the same fish. He spent five minutes trying to swallow it.
