Great Egret Gulping

The Great Egret just spend 5 minutes trying to swallow a large crab. He was pacing and moving his neck up and down and seemed to be in distress. In the end, however, he recovered quite nicely!

Here he is with the crab (or whatever it is) in his mouth. You can see it's pretty large for that slim neck!
